LA TOUR BIDOUANE
This tower is an old building in Saint-Malo, housing "Noguette", a bell used to signal curfew.
Former powder magazine of the 15th century, the Bidouane Tower is one of the oldest buildings still standing on the ramparts of Saint-Malo. Formerly called the Bell Tower, it housed "Noguette", a bell that rang at 10pm to signal the curfew and the release of 24 danes on the shore (it still rings today from the cathedral of Saint-Vincent). 23 meters high, its horseshoe-shaped plan is typical of the artillery towers of the time. From its upper platform, you can see the Grand Bé, the Cap Fréhel and the cathedral and its spire.
