Fort Béar

En un regard

Le château en bref

Fort Béar, or Fort du Cap Béar, is a military fortification built between 1877 and 1880, located east of the commune of Port-Vendres, in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, on the summit of Mont Béar at an altitude of about 205 metres, overlooking Cap Béar on the Côte Vermeille. It is a training site, used mainly for urban combat, for troops attending courses at the National Commando Training Centre, the unit responsible for teaching commando techniques to elite elements of the French Army and other foreign armies. The facility is therefore empty outside periods of exercises.
