Tour Joséphine stands as an emblematic structure in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, uniting maritime history with classic architecture. Rising from a small square near the harbor, this historic tower offers a charming perspective over the bustling fishing port and the Vendéen landscape. Visitors can admire its sturdy stone walls, reminiscent of past centuries, before heading to one of the nearby cafés or boutiques to soak up local culture. While not always open to the public, its surroundings provide a pleasant spot to enjoy the sea breeze, watch fishing boats come and go, and capture pictures of the region’s distinctive coastal charm. At twilight, the tower reveals a magical aura, illuminated by the soft glow of streetlights, making it a romantic vantage point for an evening stroll.
