The Vauban Tower (French: Tour Vauban) or Camaret Tower is a defensive structure designed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban in Camaret-sur-Mer on the west coast of Brittany.
Profile and floor plan of the tower

The hexagonal tower stands on a small peninsula off the coast of Camaret and is 18 meters high, with four floors. It was planned by Vauban starting in 1683, commissioned in 1689, and completed from 1693 to 1697 under the construction supervision of Jean-Pierre Traverse.

Camaret-sur-Mer boat cemetery

Highlight • Monument

The Camaret-sur-Mer boat cemetery is on the site of the François-Joseph Keraudren shipyard. Groundings are voluntary (reverse of groundings) for aesthetic purposes. The area is a furrow - a cord of natural pebbles like that of the English in Landévennec and that of Pâl in the same way - laid out by man on the road serving the port. Another boat cemetery is known on the Crozon peninsula, a military one, in Landévennec.

Le Fret

Highlight • Settlement

Le Fret is a small town nestled south of Brest harbor. Attached to the town of Crozon, its port offers daily connections with Brest. Very nice little cafés liven up the quays. Don’t hesitate to have a coffee there while waiting for the boat.
