The Fort de la Repentance is opening its doors free of charge for European Heritage Days, which are dedicated to photographic heritage and heritage at risk.

Two guided tours will be offered on September 19 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tour duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes. Meet in front of the fort at these times. This tour is by reservation only; please call 04 94 58 07 24. Please wear appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes. The Fort de la Repentance is an underground defensive structure. Completed in 1893, this formidable battery—comprising two separate structures—allowed its occupants to defend the strait. It played an essential role in the island’s defense. Since 1995, an Orthodox monastic community established by the National Park has been carrying out restoration work on the fort. It has been renamed “Saint Mary of the Desert Monastery.” Dedicated to Saint Mary of Egypt, this hermitage is a dependency of the Monastery of Saint Anthony the Great (Drôme). Reservations are required. Be sure to bring sturdy walking shoes, a hat, a water bottle, and sunscreen.
