ITR4714130: Detail of the Doree Tower or Vauban Tower of the Fort of Camaret-sur-Mer (Camaret sur Mer), Finistere, Brittany, France. Architecture by Sebastien Le Prestre, Marquis de Vauban (1633-1707). The Vauban Tower had the task of monitoring the Brest Gullet and the root of the Roscanvel peninsula, through which the enemy could have sneaked into the Brest harbour. Still unfinished, the Doree Tower underwent its baptism with fire on 18 June 1694. Vauban breaks the assault of 147 Anglo-Dutch ships trying to unpack. Beautifully built, the tower is the prototype and the best example of a fort at the Vauban Sea with low battery and gorge tower. / Bridgeman Images
