About Fort de Chartres<\/strong>
\nLocated near Prairie du Rocher in the state of Illinois, Fort de Chartres is the only stone fort constructed by the French in the heart of the North American continent. Three forts were consecutively built between 1720 and 1755, bearing witness to the French colonial empire established in the Mississippi basin during the XVIIIth century. Abandoned for many decades, it was during the wave of historical site development in the first half of the XXth century that the state of Illinois partially rebuilt it to perpetuate the memory of the French presence in the region.<\/p>\n

Although it was constructed out of stone, the new fort was not made to resist grand artillery fire; rather, it was made to resist native sieges. After the signature of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, officialising the French defeat at the end of the Seven Years\u2019 War, Fort de Chartres wound up in British hands and was renamed Fort Cavendish.<\/p>\n
