The Vauban weir was raised by one floor in 1865, which has been used as a panoramic terrace since 1966. From the terrace you have an incomparable view over the district.

The Ponts Couverts are a group of three bridges and four towers that form a defensive work built in the 13th century on the Ill river in the city of Strasbourg, France. The three bridges cross the four rivers of the Ill, which flow through Strasbourg's historic Petite France district.
