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 visitors and, in summer, is sometimes used as a backdrop for medieval shows (sword fights and folk dances, of questionable quality, but entertaining).

Point de départ de la voie royale, juste en face de la tour d'entrée de la vielle ville, ce petit fort tout en arrondie offre une structure originale dans le planty, grande artère de verdure tout autour de la vieille ville.

Petit fort au nord de la vieille ville, nous avons eu de la chance en pouvant assister à un spectacle dans ce lieu original.
Le long des remparts se trouvent des vendeurs de souvenirs et des tableaux...pas très intéressant car très peu de produits locaux ou artisanaux
