The Fort de Bois-d'Arcy (French pronunciation: [fɔʁ bwa daʁsi]), also called the Batterie de Bois-d'Arcy ([batʁi-]), is one of the forts constructed at the end of the 19th century to defend Paris. It is located in the commune of Bois d'Arcy in the Yvelines département of France. The fort is located in the southern part of the town to the south of Route nationale 12.
