About
Quick facts: Standing 64 meters tall, this tower is one of nine still standing of the fourteen that protected the medieval citadel. The tailors stored their precious merchandise there and organized the defense of this section of the ramparts.
Highlights: Climb to the top floor and place your hand on the oak beams carved by 15th-century artisans, still marked by their initials. In clear weather, the belfry offers a 360-degree view where you can make out the three fortified churches of the valley, a spectacle that has remained virtually unchanged for 500 years.
Insider tips
- Wear good shoes: the spiral staircase of 175 steps is steep and narrow.
- Photograph the gargoyles from the west window on the second floor; the angle is perfect at 3 p.m.
- Arrive right at opening time at 10 a.m. on weekdays to have the tower almost to yourself.
- Skip the small textile museum on the ground floor and head straight to the upper floors.
