This fort was built as a defensive garrison in the 19th century and played a vital role in the defense strategy. Today, it plays a more peaceful, but equally important, role in the aging of Beaufort cheese.

A steep and demanding descent through the woods above Notre-Dames-des-Millières. Expect fairly steep and rooty terrain, with segments of loose, rocky soil. There are some pretty exposed sections on this trail, so make sure you're confident in your biking skills before setting out. However, for those with nerves of steel, you will be rewarded with a magnificent and exhilarating driving experience.
