This monument is the oldest fort on the island of Re. Built in 1626, it was primarily intended to ensure the sovereignty of King Louis XIII on the island, which at that time was a strategic territory for the crown facing the Protestants of La Rochelle. He had an important role during the siege of the island by the Duke of Buckingham in 1627. Featuring a small port inside its fortifications, he allowed the landing of the royal troops at night, which participated in the victory of the French troops resisting on the island.
