Historique
Le site de la station radar de Port-Coton est un ensemble complexe, qui fait partie des vestiges des installations du mur de l'Atlantique sur Belle-Ile. Il ne s'agit pas d'une construction modulaire, mais d'un ensemble conçu de manière empirique, comprenant la plate-forme boulonnée qui supportait le radar, des soutes, des abris sous roche et un ensemble de couloirs souterrains avec une descente de monte-charge et deux puits.

History
The site of the Port-Coton radar station is a complex ensemble, which forms part of the remains of Atlantic Wall installations on Belle-Île. It is not a modular construction, but an ensemble designed empirically, comprising the bolted platform that supported the radar, magazines, rock-cut shelters and a set of underground corridors with a goods-lift shaft and two wells.
