Comment

Built on the site of the old Ballestras redoubt, the current water tower, 45 m high, built in 1943, whose concrete box has been transformed to become the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean, hosts for some years the convention center with at the top a rotating panoramic restaurant offering guests a 360° view.
The interior of the old water tower, in fact a simple cistern placed on the Ballestras redoubt, was demolished (keeping only the envelope) and the redoubt incarcerated in the building, deposited stone by stone, was transformed into a new building.The redoubt was rebuilt and restored by the Compagnons du Devoir on the Etang du Levant, west of the Etang du Grec, at the eastern entrance to the city. This redoubt currently houses the Albert Dubout Museum. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palavas-les-Flots
