THE BELFRY OF ST. LAWRENCE

A massive square tower, 58 m high, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this massive 58-meter square tower was erected around 1440, and was attached to the Saint-Eloi church until a fire separated the buildings in 1558. It houses a carillon of 50 bells, whose bumblebee, Jean-Bart, weighs five tons! From the top of the belfry (accessed by elevator and 65 steps), the 360-degree panorama offers a superb view of the city and port. Access to the belfry is available from the tourist office. Good to know: the carillonneur is present every Saturday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.!

Ils sont super sympas comme tous les gens du nord.???? et vous pourrez monter au sommet, une partie en ascenseur et ensuite 60 marches. Vous pourrez également au passage voir le carillon de la tour. La montée par les marches est assez étriquée et basse de plafond, ma tête s'en souvient encore.????
