The connections between Porquerolles and the mainland (Giens) were carried out from the small dock of the Tour Fondue. This is still existing service, a diving club is still used to moor his boat ..

The Tour Fondue

The book bastions was built in 1634 and defended the pass between Porquerolles and Giens. It seems that owes its name to the state of ruin that had the earlier building at Fort Vauban. Today, this is near the pier batterrie to get to Porquerolles

The villa dates from the time of Augustus and was used both to agriculture, resort and inn for passenger vessels making stops.
