Taillefer Battery

Highlight • Monument

The defense system was carried out between 1883 and 1886 outside the coastal system and was intended to reinforce fortifications built to protect Port-Vendres, which became a military port in 1846.
These achievements visible today are:
The Battery 500 (altitude 500m) above the Col des Gascons in a steep position, with a direct view of the Col de Banyuls.
The Taillefer Battery guards the Ravaner Valley
Battery La Galline (height 250 m) above Cosprons and able to hit the railroad and the road connecting Banyuls to Port-Vendres. It was intended for 4 artillery pieces and 70 men.
The left barracks
The real barracks under Taillefer
The barracks of the center on the route des crêtes
The restoration and elevation of the Madeloc Tower to make it a fortified observation site.
The creation of a strategic road connecting all the factories to each other and to Fort Dugommier and Port-Vendres.
All these defenses are never used.

Madeloc Tower

Highlight • Summit

The Tour de Madeloc is located about 10 km west of the Mediterranean and 10 km north of the Spanish border in the eastern foothills of the Pyrenees. From the 652 m high mountain, the view is simply overwhelming. It extends from Narbonne in the north via Perpignan all the way along the coast to far into Spain.
