The site may need improvement, but I recommend a visit.…

Fort de Oliviers is a hitorical french fort from the colonia era just outside the town of Saint Louis du Sudm la ville de Louis XIV. It has increddible pieces of artillery (french canons) on display and still intact chambers along with rampart walls over looking the Caribbean sea. It is a must see when visiting Aquin, Zanglais or Saint Louis du Sud. Fort de Olivier is the sister fort to Fort de Anglais accross the bay of Saint Louis du Sud. The entire fort can be visited in less than an hour. Very scenic and lots of photo opportunities.…
