An octagonal tower in Riom bearing the clock and salamander, with a superb panoramic view of the town and surrounding area.
A former belfry and symbol of communal freedoms, the tower was built in the late 14th century. The medieval part serves as a base for the octagonal tower built during the Renaissance, which bears the clock and the salamander, emblem of King François I. Home to Riom's Pays d'art et d'histoire, it has recently been restored. New exhibits on Riom and the surrounding area have been added, including models and a relief map of the old town. After climbing 128 steps, enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and its surroundings.

Pour les améliorations à apporter, la mairie pourrait mettre un TPE à disposition pour faciliter les paiements. On est en 2025, il est temps de proposer un autre paiement que la monnaie, seul moyen de paiement. ????
Vraiment pas cher, sinon compris dans le pass TERRA Volcana, mais petite visite qui vaut le coup.
En plus du panorama en haut, 2 petites salles avec panneaux explicatifs, maquettes sont ouvertes à la visite.
Bel accueil.
