Le Portel, The city of three fortresses... With the Fort de l'Huert, the Fort du Mont de Couppes and the Fort d'Alprech, Le Portel is well protected! The first two forts were built by Napoleon during the camp of Boulogne. The Fort d'Alprech was built a little later. Built during the Third Republic from 1875 to 1880 under Genius General Séré de Rivières, the fort has casemates with room for a hundred men, storage areas and a powder magazine.

Hiking

This historic site offers you a magnificent panoramic view of the coast. This 19th century coastal battery is built on a strategic cape just outside Boulogne-sur-Mer. You can admire the impressive architecture of the fort, which housed around a hundred soldiers and several cannons,
