Fort Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, was one of three fortifications constructed by Vauban in the 17th century to protect Bordeaux. The others were the citadel of Blaye, on the opposite bank, and Fort Paté on an island in the middle. Together they formed the so-called ‘verrou’, or bolt, which locked out enemy attacks. Vauban had difficulties in constructing this fort because of the soft ground, and it was 32 years before it was completed. The defences are concentrated on the landward side to protect the battery from land attack, and included a ditch which could be flooded from the estuary. The central structure was big enough to house 300 men, and it was garrisoned up to 1916. Today it is a museum of local history. Opening hours are 10am to 8pm April to October and 10am to 5pm the rest of the year.
