Saint-Antoine: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Fort Saint-Antoine was built between 1879 and 1882 as a military fort to protect the eastern border. From 1966 onwards, Marcel Petite converted it into cellars for maturing Comté cheese. The Saint-Antoine section of the ReMouthable tour leads to this former military building, which can be visited by prior reservation. The guided tour of the Caves d'affinage du Fort de Saint-Antoine explains the slow maturing process of Comté, lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes, and is only possible by prior reservation.
Anyone choosing Saint-Antoine as a travel destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
