The only vestige of a fortress built between 1292 and 1307, a three-storey tower with beautiful rib-vaulted rooms.
This tower stood at the end of the Pont Bénézet. A veritable sentinel at the entrance to the town, it is the only vestige of a fortress built in 1292 on the orders of Philippe IV le Bel, anxious to keep Avignon in check. The three-storey structure features beautiful rib-vaulted rooms. A watchtower was added in the 15th century. The panorama from the top is exceptional. As you can see, to enjoy the view, you'll have to climb the many steps, and you won't be disappointed. A permanent exhibition, "Mémoires de tour", takes you on a journey through history.

Members' reviews on THE PHILIPPE LE BEL TOWER

Lo que ocurrió despues es de las cosas más raras que he visto jamás. La mujer, en lugar de decir que se había equivocado, mintió descaradamente y dijo que no solo nos había informado, sino nos había enseñado los folletos, cosa que es absolutamente falsa (yo creo que se le debieron olvidar los folletos y por eso mintió)
Escribo esta opinión exclusivamente por si a alguien le ha pasado lo mismo, que por favor tomen soluciones con esa mujer, porque miente, increíblemente miente.
