The Fort de l'Heurt is a fort near Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France. It was built by order of Napoleon Bonaparte on the remains of the ancient promontory Icius Ptolemy after the breaking of the Treaty of Amiens by the British in May 1803. This mass of rocks that once formed a small island near Equihen went, according to a former British map, by the name of Heustrière. That name would have become, over time, first Heustre then Heurt.
