Your turn to hold down the castle, I mean fort

La Crete Fort was built by the English on Jersey an island off the coast of France to try and keep Napoleon from invading. Ironically it still ended up with a french name meaning "the ridge". During World War II the area was captured by the Nazi's and used for military operations. Now a days the fort is used to defend peoples privacy, on vacation. If you want to go live in a fort, or a castle which this basically looks like, this is your spot. You can stay here for seven days in peak season for only about 1600 dollars which is about half of most other comparably sized castles in the UK and on the European coast.
