Presentation
On the territory of the Municipality of Martigues, the Fort de Bouc rises its walls of pink limestone at the mouth of the Caronte channel.
Since the Middle Ages, it has guarded this passage between the Gulf of Fos and the Etang de Berre, halfway between Marseille and the Rhône. Due to its strategic position for maritime trade and control of the region, the Fort de Bouc has always had a dual function, both a defensive structure and a beacon. It has been listed as a historical monument since January 6, 1930.
In 1993, the City of Martigues committed to the safeguarding and rehabilitation of the Fort de Bouc. After restoration work and for the first time in its millennial history, in 2007 the Fort de Bouc opened to the public, offering visitors a real journey through time.
Fort de Bouc is geographically landlocked in the facilities of the oil port of Lavéra. As a result, its attendance and use are subject to various specific constraints.
