This small circular fort was added to the fortifications in the 15th century to ensure more effective defense of the town. Now isolated in the middle of the Planty, the fort was originally linked to the Porte Florian by a corridor known as "le cou". It is one of Europe's best-preserved barbicans, a marvel of medieval military architecture. It is open to the public and sometimes, in summer, serves as the backdrop for medieval shows (sword fights and folk dances, of questionable quality, but entertaining).

Le long des remparts se trouvent des vendeurs de souvenirs et des tableaux...pas très intéressant car très peu de produits locaux ou artisanaux
