A feudal-style tower, a little-known curiosity in the capital and a vestige of the Hôtel de Bourgogne in Paris, the Tour Jean Sans Fright
This feudal-looking tower, at the foot of which stands the courtyard of a school, is a little-known curiosity in the capital. It is a vestige of the Hôtel des Ducs de Bourgogne, which was built against Philippe Auguste's enceinte. It owes its origins to Duke Jean I of Burgundy, who in the 15th century sought protection from the supporters of his cousin Louis d'Orléans, the brother of the King of France, whom he had just had assassinated... The tour includes a spiral staircase topped by a vaulted ceiling with magnificent carved plant decoration, leading to the bedrooms.

L'hôtel, adossé à l'enceinte de Philippe Auguste, avait été construit par Robert II d'Artois à la fin du XIIIème siècle. Il est ensuite propriété des ducs de Bourgogne par héritage jusqu'à la mort en 1477 de Charles le Téméraire.
