    One could also leave the city by other passages: two posterns, the curtain of the sea, two underground ports in the sides of the bastions of La Brèche and Hiers for navigation by boat in the ditches.
    There are two powder magazines, that of François d'Espinay de Saint-Luc with four flying buttresses contained 30 tons of powder, that of La Brèche, built by Vauban in 1692, contained 20 tons.
