Big Bell being part of the ramparts of Bordeaux, then converted into a prison and became a belfry, to see in guided tour
In the Middle Ages, the Grosse Cloche was part of the city walls, before undergoing numerous modifications. A rare monument from this period that Bordeaux has preserved, the place was transformed into a prison - you can see the drawings and inscriptions of the inmates who counted their days of confinement - before becoming one of the most touristic belfries in France. If you like to travel back in time, opt for a guided tour. It's best to come at night, when the Big Bell is lit up with blue lights!

sert de porte d'entrée dans la vieille ville et ses petites rue étroites et typiques, la façade de la grosse cloche est remarquable et très photogénique, bien détailler les façades des 2 côtés qui sont différentes et la cloche du plus bel effet.
Très agréable
Y grimper permet d avoir une belle vue dominante sur le quartier.
Escalier raide dans lequel il peut être difficile de se croiser.
