Another interesting fortification is called Fort du Mont. Beautiful views of the surroundings open up from here – that is to say, you can visit the place only for this reason. The fort was built at the end of the 19th century, in order to prevent the invasion of Italy, but it was needed a little later, during the Second World War.
