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. Don't miss our daily guided tours.

Pouvoir découvrir de l'intérieur ce bâtiment et son histoire est toujours enrichissant et permet de mieux connaître la ville et son fonctionnement. Le carillon, et sa ritournelle sont toujours pour moi un moment riche en émotion.

Très belle visite avec un personnel passionné. Le beffroi est superbe. Le son du carillon est impressionnant. On peut même en jouer. La visite donne une bonne idée de l'histoire de Douai. Concert de carillon une ou deux fois par semaine selon la saison
beautiful square, the belfry is a dream. I love the noise of the organ.
Visit quickly if you are in the region
very beautiful belfry, exceptional bells, a site to visit absolutely when Douai is visited
