  Le Beffroi

C’est une tour rectangulaire de six étages à toit à quatre angles construite au 13e et 14e siècles. L'architecture est d'influence flamande. C'est la plus ancienne horloge de Beaune puisqu'une horloge y fut installée vers 1400. Les poids de l'horloge descendaient alors jusqu' au 2e étage. Usée l'horloge fut remplacée en 1861. La tour a été à maintes reprises restaurée au cours des siècles. Elle est classée monument historique, j'ignore si l'intérieur se visite.

===========================

The "Beffroi" or Clock Tower of Beaune is a rectangular tower of six levels with a roof with four angles built in the 13th and 14th centuries. The architecture is of Flemish influence. It is the oldest clock of Beaune since a clock was installed here about 1400. The weights of the clock went down to the 2nd floor.
The worn clock was replaced in 1861. The tower was on several occasions restored during the centuries. It is classified historical monument.
I am unaware if the interior can be visited.
