Point strategique remarquablement situe non loin du Chemin des Dames, entre Reims, Laon et Soissons, le fort de Conde appartient au systeme de defense de seconde ligne mis en place par le general Sere de Rivieres au lendemain de la guerre de 1870 et de la defaite francaise, marquee par l’annexion de l’Alsace et de la Lorraine a l’Empire allemand. De taille moyenne, il etait prevu pour abriter 600 hommes, leurs officiers et munitions. Sa construction en pierres de taille, tres etudiee et extremement soignee, le rattache aux grandes places fortes d’une epoque classique, peu de temps avant l’emploi du beton arme, mais ne lui a pas permis de resister a l’evolution technique d’un armement moderne toujours plus puissant. Apres de longues decennies d’abandon, et grace a quelques passionnes et aux visiteurs qu’il etonne, le fort de Conde, inscrit parmi les Monuments historiques, a retrouve son role de sentinelle sur un paysage maintes fois ravage, aujourd’hui apaise.
