Tour de l'horloge (Clock tower)

The slate-clad Clock Tower was built in the first half of the 14th century.

Incorrectly named "Le Beffroi", it stands at the crossroads of the ruelle de l'Horloge, which it spans, and the rue de la Sous-Préfecture.

The Tour de l?Horloge still houses the clock mechanism of the church of Sainte-Madeleine, destroyed during the French Revolution, and its wooden beams come from the church of the former Capucins convent, visible at the top of rue des Capucins.

If you examine the dial, you'll notice that the fourth hour has a peculiarity: the Roman numeral is made up of four batons rather than one baton before the V.

Listed as a Historic Monument in 1933.
