Mostly built for defense, the tower was also a food warehouse for the army, et in the 17th century it became a prison for salt smugglers. Salt was essential to preserve meat, and subject to a heavy tax, while being tax-free in the neighbouring region Vendée. The tower can be visited, and contains modern art installations. City walls are visible around.
