The Fort des Têtes also known as the Fort des Trois-Têtes is a fortification in the vicinity of Briançon in the Dauphiné region of southeastern France. It was first surveyed by Vauban in 1700. In 1709 the Marshal Berwick established a fortified camp on the plateau overlooking the valley of the Durance from a height of 1440 metres (4720 ft). The position controlled the high valleys of Fontenil and Fontchristiane.
