Free visit | Fort du Pradeau

Hyères

Discover the Pradeau fort, built in the 17th century. Fauna, flora, geology, cultural heritage: its interactive and immersive permanent exhibition reveals the many riches of an exceptional territory, a veritable Mediterranean melting pot.

An emblematic historical monument, Fort du Pradeau has been completely restored and refurbished to become the interpretation center for the Port-Cros National Park.

Open to the public since the end of 2022, you can immerse yourself in the permanent exhibition "Making the invisible visible".
A cabinet of curiosities, exhibition rooms, digital and auditory immersion, a store and a panoramic belvedere will take you on a voyage of discovery of the wealth of flora and fauna, sometimes unsuspected, that make up this territory. These hidden treasures, hidden sites, know-how and human memories are brought to light by the national park: welcome to the world of the Parc national de Port-Cros!
