Strolling through Vauban Harbour, you're greeted by weathered city walls on one side and endless blue waters on the other. White nomadic sculptures silently watch over the harbor, while yachts gently moor on the surface—a tranquil and idyllic scene that perfectly captures the essence of southern France.

Many people come here. The fountain is especially beautiful in the evening, and it becomes very lively at night. The scenery is also very good. Although it is not very big, many people come here for vacation!
