The left tower is in a state of disrepair, particularly the ventilation louvers. The upper section of the right tower appears to have been restored. The year '1850' is painted on the uppermost louvre. There is a row of houses in the foreground, on the right.s This photograph is part of an album of prints presented to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a memento of their state visit to France from 18-27 August 1855
