La Batterie des Roches

Built between 1877 and 1879, it is one of the key components of the Lomont defensive mole.

The Les Roches battery was manned by 246 men (6 officers, 16 non-commissioned officers, 224 soldiers and an infirmary for 10 patients).

The fort is made up of several parts: the battery entrance, barracks, bakery, gunpowder magazine, double caponier, magazine under rock and an optical post, which ensured communication with the Mont-Bart fort.

Its altitude of 614 m makes it a must-see in Pont-de-Roide Vermondans. It offers a panoramic view of the Doubs valley (orientation table and Instagrammable photo spot), a visit to a historic building and the chance to go climbing and hiking.
