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!

Cette cloche est imposante et embellit vraiment la ville. Impossible de la louper, de jour comme de nuit ! Par contre pour visiter il faut s'y prendre très tôt !

Un beau monument de jour comme de nuit, grâce à l'éclairage le mettant bien en valeur. Pour la visiter, il faut s'y prendre de bonne heure car comme c'est limité à 5 personnes, si quelqu'un a déjà réservé 2 places...

C'est un des rares monuments civils (avec la porte Cailhau) que la ville conserve du Moyen Âge. Elle vient d'être restaurée et on ne peut pas la ratée en flânant dans la cité...
