General presentation
Today, the Fort of Sainte-Adresse has been converted into a green space: the hanging gardens.
After a military vocation until 1976, then abandoned, the fort underwent a new transformation after its acquisition by the City of Le Havre, which did everything possible to open this military wasteland to the general public and make it a place of culture and life open to all.
Le Fort is a project of general interest which aims to develop audiences, artistic practices, professionalization, social diversity, conviviality, openness to creativity in the Le Havre territory and European identification of the artistic life in Le Havre.

Location History
Raised between 1854 and 1860, it belonged to the line of forts supposed to protect the city after the dismantling of the ramparts.
Place du Havre decommissioned in 1880, the fort served as barracks for infantry regiments in garrison from 1890 to 1976.
The military wasteland, bought in 1989 by the City of Le Havre is today an artistic wasteland: a new place of life and culture of 7 hectares widely open to the public.
The Fort de Tourneville is today a new place of experimentation, life and cultures thanks to the 34 associations and cultural and artistic structures and 3 municipal services which reside there in a spirit of mutualisation, co-construction and sharing.
