    Encircled by a wall of vegetation, the Redoubt of Merville is a small fortress in the shape of a horseshoe.

    Based on the principles of Vauban's architecture, it belongs to a set of three artillery structures, which were built between 1779 and 1780 around the estuary to strengthen the armed defenses against England.

    Very well hidden behind the vegetated dunes, easy to pass without seeing it
