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.

Très intéressant, très bien expliqué et un must see pour ceux qui s'intéressent aussi à l'histoire de la Belgique! La Bourgogne était un booster pour la culture!!

Nous avons visité la tour en soirée. L' accueil est chaleureux et bienveillant. 2h de visite qui valent le détour. On apprend bien évidemment plein de choses mais surtout on n'imagine pas lorsque l'on passe devant, ce que cette tour cache entre ses murs.

Je recommande la visite de la tour de Jean sans peur: l expo permanente presente un parcours dans le Paris médiéval, par les rares vestiges de cette époque, et raconte l histoire tumultueuse du lieu, avec les affrontements entre Bourguignons. Anglais. Français, le bal des ardents..
En ce moment expo temporaire sur l education au moyen âge, qui réserve des surprises , et sur la tour saint jacques

L'histoire de la tour est agréablement présentée et l'exposition éphémère complète intelligemment la visite. Le parcours-enquête pour les enfants est un "plus" qui est suffisamment bien conçu pour les distraire un long moment.
L'hôtesse est très accueillante.
