Tower located in Baccarat, called the Tour des Voués, measuring 30 m high and 14.7 m wide.

In 1305, Henry I had a tower built on a rock overlooking the Meurthe plain, called the Tour des Voués (which means defenders). This position was strategic to defend the city against the serfs. This tower is 30 m high and 14.7 m wide. As for the walls, pierced with windows and loopholes, they are nearly 3 m thick. The ramparts and the castle of Baccarat are still accessible through a vast vaulted passageway still used today by the residents. See you at the foot of this seven centuries old tower...

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.
