A tower in Baccarat, known as the Tour des Voués, measuring 30 meters high and 14.7 meters wide.

In 1305, Henry I erected a tower called the Tour des Voués (meaning defenders) on a rock overlooking the Meurthe plain. This was a strategic position for defending the town against the serfs. The tower is 30 metres high and 14.7 metres wide. The walls, pierced by windows and loopholes, are almost 3 metres thick. Baccarat's ramparts and château are still accessible via a vast vaulted passageway still used today by local residents. See you at the foot of this seven-century-old tower...

Sans plus, si on vient à Baccarat autant la voir mais inutile de faire des kilomètres pour uniquement la voir

La Tour des Voués, élevée sur un rocher qui dominait de six mètres la plaine de la Meurthe pour protéger les habitations des serfs, se trouve dans la rue de Menil à Baccarat.
Il n'y a pas grand chose à voir et c'est bien dommage car c'est un site historique de la Ville.
