Description
Fort la Latte, or the Château de la Roche-Goyon is a castle in the northeast of Brittany, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southeast of Cap Fréhel and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) west of Saint-Malo, in the commune of Plévenon, Côtes-d'Armor.
The castle was built in the 14th century by the Lord of Matignon, Etienne III Gouÿon. The construction of the castle began in the 1340s, the keep dates from the years 1365–1370.
In 1379, following the return from exile of the Duke of Brittany Jean IV, the castle was besieged by Bertrand Du Guesclin. The castle was attacked and taken a second time during the Wars of Religion in the sixteenth century, this defeat marking a time of abandonment of the building. It was not until the 18th century, under Louis XIV, that the castle resumed its strategic interest and was bastioned.
It was in service until the end of the First Empire when the evolution of military techniques led to its unsuitability. From 1892, it was sold to various private owners before being bought by the historian Frédéric Joüon Des Longrais in 1931 who, having a lifelomg passion for archeology, undertook heavy restoration work which took more than twenty years.
The castle is provided with two gatehouses, one opening onto the barbican, the other onto the courtyard of the castle; each has its own drawbridge. In the courtyard, there is a water tank, a chapel, various defensive features and installations (in particular the locations of the gun batteries) and of course the keep.
Electricity only arrived at the castle in 2015.
The castle of the Roche Goyon has been classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1925.
It is a famous tourist attraction of the bay of Saint-Malo and the Côte d'Émeraude. Various films have been shot at this site, including The Vikings (1958) by Richard Fleischer with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis. It is also featured in the French band Manau's video for "La Tribu de Dana." A much larger, fictionalized version of the fort appears in the 2015 animated film Avril et le Monde Extraordinaire.
Fort la Latte has been recreated manually from various photos and videos from the internet and comes with its own POI.

Oui, malheureusement, c'est un problème qui arrive quand on place un bâtiment sur un relief escarpé comme ici car la précision et l'offset du terrain change avec la distance. J'ai le même problème avec Rocamadour. Pas trouvé de solution parfaite jusqu'à présent.
