La Batterie Taillefer était autrefois le système de défense de la Troisième République, elle a depuis été restaurée. Un tourneur sur bois et un atelier de coutellerie y sont installés.

Sur la route des crêtes entre Collioure et Banyuls-sur-Mer, vous découvrirez de nombreuses fortifications qui parsèment ce chemin sinueux.

La Batterie Taillefer servait de système de défense de la IIIème République. Elle a été depuis restaurée et accueille aujourd'hui un tourneur sur bois et un atelier de coutellerie.
