    The Tours Guillaume, also known as Porte Jeanne d'Arc or Porte du Haut, is a city gate in the city of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, which is part of the French department of Somme.
    The city gate consists of two heavy round towers, between which there is a gate entrance. The towers date from the 11th century and already existed when William the Conqueror had to moor in this place with his fleet in 1066 before sailing to England. In 1430, Joan of Arc, already captured by the English, passed through this gate. The current gate entrance was only built in 1785.
    The towers have served as a watchtower and as a prison. The drawbridge was demolished in 1614 and the defenses that once extended in front of the gate no longer exist.

      From here you have a great view over the Bay of Somme.
