Fort Saint-Nicolas is a fort overlooking the port of Marseille. It was built from 1660 to 1664 by the Knight of Clerville by order of Louis XIV to subdue the spirit of independence of the city of Marseille. The part located between the boulevard Charles Livon and the sea is the low fort which took the name of Fort Ganteaume in tribute to a former vice-admiral, maritime prefect, Ganteaume. It houses the military circle with the officers' mess. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Saint-Nicolas_(Marseille)
