La Tour Carbonniere is a remarkable structure that truly rises out of the marshes. It is located near Aigues Mortes. The tower was built near the end of the 13th century, and was used first as a watchtower. Then at the beginning of the 15th century it became a toll post, for passage across the bridge through the marsh.
The staircase to the top was open. So I climbed up there, to see the view.
Really a neat site. At present, it is located in the center of a small traffic circle.
