Cette batterie militaire cachait un secret plus rapide que les pigeons voyageurs

Let's head to the Morlot Battery, a former military fort built in 1878 by General Séré de Rivières as part of a defensive line designed to protect Paris. Cannons, soldiers... but not only that. This battery had another essential function: serving as a communication hub or relay point. Using an optical telegraph, it transmitted information to several neighboring forts, which in turn relayed it even further. A far more effective technology at the time than carrier pigeons.
