Fort la Latte

Perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the Emerald Sea, Fort La Latte (or Château de la Roche Goyon) is one of Brittany's most iconic landmarks. This 14th-century medieval fortress, transformed into a coastal defense stronghold under Louis XIV, offers a spectacular sight with its pink sandstone walls defying the waves. Its strategic location, accessible only by two drawbridges spanning natural crevices, has made it a favorite filming location for numerous swashbuckling adventure films. A visit is a true immersion into the coastal defense system. Inside the walls, you will discover the massive keep, cannons pointed out to sea, a furnace for heating cannonballs (used to set enemy ships ablaze), and a charming chapel dedicated to Saint Michael. The highlight of the show remains the climb to the top of the watchtower: the panorama is breathtaking, offering an unparalleled view of Cap Fréhel and the vastness of the English Channel.
