The Fort à la Reine is a historic bastion of the city walls of Saint-Malo, originally built in the 17th century by order of Vauban and later heightened in the 18th century. Located at the northwestern tip of the city, near the Tour Bidouane and the Plage de Bon-Secours, it provided strategic defense across the bay. Today, it is freely accessible, part of the city wall circuit, and offers panoramic views.

The Fort à la Reine in Saint-Malo is a historic bastion that forms part of the city's fortifications. It was originally built in 1694 as the "Bastion du Cheval-Blanc" after an Anglo-Dutch attack on Saint-Malo. The famous military engineer Vauban ordered its construction to better protect the city against enemy attacks.
