What you'll see
A long covered stone dam across the river, with old statues stored in its dim gallery and a free rooftop terrace with the best view of the Ponts Couverts, Petite France and the cathedral.
A brief history
The military engineer Vauban designed it in the late 1600s so the river could be blocked and the land south of the city flooded against an attacking army.
