Belfry-town hall, classified as a world heritage site, with a carillon of 62 bells and an exceptional view.
One of the city's most symbolic monuments! Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005, it dates back to 1380. At a height of 45 meters, it dominates the city, proudly guarded by a roaring lion bearing a banner with the city's "D" between its paws. Don't miss the opportunity to climb its 196 steps for an exceptional view of Douai. Its 62-bell carillon sets the rhythm of the day with its melody, delighting carillonneurs from all over the world.

Il vous faudra juste un peu de courage pour monter (petit à petit car on s'arrête à chaque étage) les 195 marches.
Vous découvrirez aussi 3 salles de l'hôtel de ville : le grand hall d'entrée, la salle de mariage et ses boiseries entiérement peintes en blanc et l'impressionnante salle du conseil municipal avec sa grande fresque.
