Neat to the La Petit France area lies this weir – a structure several stories high, built in the late 17th century to protect the city. The impressive Vauban Dam (Great Lock), can flood the entire southern part of town if needed. A terrace on top of the dam is a wonderful viewpoint, offering a panoramic view of the canals. Many visitors comment on the relaxing atmosphere of the place and many more delight in photography – as they well should, for the terrace offers magnificent sights no matter what the time of the day is. The building’s main levels house a number of sculptures, which is a treat, especially since Strasbourg museums are rarely free.
