Fort-la-Latte or Castle of La Latte is a castle located about 4 km southeast of Cap Fréhel and about 35 km west of Saint-Malo. It is a famous tourist attraction on the Cote d'Émeraude in the northeast of Brittany. This impressive castle was built on a small spit of land at the Baie de la Fresnaye in the 13th century. Various films have been shot at this site, including The Vikings (1958 by Richard Fleischer) with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis.
The castle has been classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1925.
At this site, there is a famous German blockhaus reclaimed by the Americain during WWII. Yeah for the USA!!!!
