The Gironde's only intact keep, a must-see in Saint-Émilion.

The "castel du roy", otherwise known as the "king's tower", is the only remaining intact keep in Gironde. This superb 32-metre-high edifice is a must-see in Saint-Émilion. You'll have to climb the 118 steps to reach this witness to the past, but the panoramic view over the town is superb. Built in the 13th century, the keep was used as a defensive citadel until the end of the 16th century. It is used to proclaim the Judgement of New Wine and the Ban des Vendanges.

On ne peut pas rater la tour du Roy à Saint-Emilion tant elle domine les autres bâtiments. On peut monter à son sommet, ce qui offre ainsi une vue sur toute la ville et les vignobles aux alentours.

Très belle vue sur les vignes de Saint-Emilion et sur le bourg, l'entrée pour l'ascension est payante (moins de 5 euros de mémoire) et il y a pas mal de marches donc pas à conseiller aux PAMR.
