The Corsair House was built in 1725 for François-Auguste Magon de la Lande, wealthy shipowner, director of the French East India Company, and government-sanctioned corsair. The tour guides mix humor with history for an enjoyable look into the life of a notable French pirate. Unique features of the house include underwater cellars and a hidden staircase. Visitors can also see examples of goods that Magon presumably seized from other ships and a collection of weapons and tools used in his nefarious trade.
