    The tower had to defend the port in the 17th and 18th centuries against English and Dutch pirates and the English navy. The view over the sea is wide.

    The Vauban Tower is an artillery tower built in 1694 by Benjamin de Combes, a French military engineer who took part in or directed the construction or reinforcement of many French forts during the reign of Louis XIV, at the behest of Vauban.

    Small friendly town where it is good to have a coffee before continuing to the Rue du Phare (18% rise ;-))!
