Grosse Cloche, part of the Bordeaux city walls, later converted into a prison and now a belfry, to be seen on a guided tour
In the Middle Ages, the Grosse Cloche was part of the city walls, before undergoing numerous modifications. A rare monument from this period that Bordeaux has preserved, the place was transformed into a prison - you can see the drawings and inscriptions of the inmates who counted their days of confinement - before becoming one of the most touristic belfries in France. If you like to travel back in time, opt for a guided tour. It's best to come at night, when the Big Bell is lit up with blue lights!
