Clocher Observatoire

Reviewed By 454tonip - Haringey, United Kingdom

We climbed the church tower (€2.05 each) and saw the beautiful views over St Martin. Try to avoid times when the bells will be chiming repeatedly - it’s very loud!

3. Port de Saint-Martin-de-Re

Citadelle Vauban

Reviewed By 658marshallb - Ferney-Voltaire, France

Behind those walls were many prisoners who were later sent to Devil's Island, including the notorious Papillon. Still, one can walk around the walls, look at the view that the prisoners would have had as they were being loaded onboard the trans-atlantic transport vessels. Also, you can see a lot of hundred-year-old plus graffiti on the walls, done primarily by soldiers stationed at the fort. What is not so obvious as you walk around the walls is that there is yet another series of Vauban-designed walls totally around the town itself, making it truly a walled city. These are obvious as you make your way around the city, or go to the observation point in the bell tower. The Citadelle is very well maintained and a historic monument to French military construction. No concern about getting lost and finding oneself inside the walls and in prison - it is well marked! Very pleasant walk.
