The Official Residence of the Presidents of the Republic: Fort Brégançon

An extraordinary site

Fort de Brégançon, located at the tip of the small hamlet of Cabasson, is an exceptional site that was chosen as the official residence of the Presidents of the French Republic in 1968. Nestled on a rocky promontory overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this fortress offers breathtaking views of the Côte d'Azur and has a strategic position that has been recognized for centuries.

History and architecture

Built in the 17th century, the fort served as a defensive post against enemy invasions. Its robust architecture and imposing walls are a testament to its military importance throughout history. Over the years, the fort has been renovated and modernized to meet the needs of the presidents who reside there.

Presidential use

Since its official establishment as a presidential residence, Fort de Brégançon has hosted numerous heads of state for vacations or diplomatic meetings. This place offers a peaceful and secure setting, ideal for rest and reflection away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. Many presidents, such as Georges Pompidou, François Mitterrand, and more recently Emmanuel Macron, have enjoyed this Mediterranean refuge.

A place to relax and work

Although Fort Brégançon is often associated with presidential vacations, it also serves as a setting for business meetings and official gatherings. The fort is equipped with all the necessary facilities to ensure the continuity of presidential duties, even during stays outside the capital.

Accessibility

Although the residence is in official use, it is occasionally open to the public for guided tours, allowing visitors to discover this unique national heritage site. These tours offer a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the history and significance of this exceptional site.
