Le Beffroi ou Tour de l'Horloge

The gateway to the old medieval town with its half-timbered houses, the belfry or "clock tower", which is a listed monument, houses a picturesque character called "le Beurdin", an automaton that ticks off the hours while sticking out its tongue at passers-by. The work of the sculptor Georges Kirsch, this character, whose local name evokes a kind but rather simple man, symbolizes the small people who lived in this part of the city. From the belfry, access to the path of the ramparts, to the garden of the Collegiate Church through the wolf alley and the square of Madame de Genlis. Free access.
