Ponts Couverts

Cross the Ponts Couverts to see medieval defensive towers at close range. This short walking stop complements the wider panorama from Barrage Vauban.

Ponts Couverts

Why go

The bridges retain their historic name even though their roofs disappeared long ago. Walking across them brings the medieval towers and water channels into view at eye level. That close perspective offers a distinct visit from the elevated Barrage Vauban terrace just beyond.

What to look for

  • Cross the bridges among three surviving medieval defensive towers.

Useful to know

  • Cross the bridges for a close view of the towers, then continue to Barrage Vauban for the wider panorama.
