The Fort de Brégançon served as the official
retreat of the President of France from 1968 to 2013. It is an old
fortress on a tiny island off the French Mediterranean coast, connected to the
mainland by a short causeway.
The 17th-century Fort de Brégancon hosted holidaying
French leaders for almost 50 years. The current French president Francois
Hollande has decided to break with tradition and open it up for the public.
