Visit of the Tower of Navarre in Langres
When you visit the fortified city of Langres, you'll be amazed by the Tour de Navarre, the most imposing of its artillery towers...
20 m high, 28 m in diameter and 7 m thick walls: this is what characterizes the Tour de Navarre, the most monumental artillery tower in Langres. To be more precise, it is a double artillery tower. Built in a record time of 4 years (incredible, isn't it?), this unique Renaissance defensive complex in France will not fail to impress you. Young and old alike will be dazzled by its interior architecture, in particular its two powerfully vaulted and casemated rooms, not to mention its magnificent oak framework illuminated in different colors!
There isno need to say that visiting this extraordinary structure is one of the must-do activities in Langres, whether you are alone, with a partner, with friends or with your family. Moreover, you will note that the Tourist Office of the Pays de Langres also offers two fun tours of this historical monument, especially for children. The first one is for 6 to 9 year olds, while the second one is for 9 to 12 year olds. The ideal way to learn while having fun.

About
Office de Tourisme du Pays de Langres
Langres, an acropolis and protector of many treasures, is bathed in a magical, poetic atmosphere.
Strolling along the ramparts of this fortified city is a journey for the mind and senses. As you caress the grain of the stone, you become a halberdier protecting the stronghold, while your eyes lose themselves in a distant, soothing horizon. From the earliest times to the Age of Enlightenment, the hilltop town has preserved its treasures to become a jewel that comes alive with tours, shows and concerts. At the foot of the plateau, the wooded expanses of the Parc National de Forêts open up to generous landscapes, bathed in fertile, healing waters. Breathe in, nature is king here! In the skilful hands of its basket makers, wicker strands bend and intertwine to create baskets and decorative masterpieces.
A land of space and freedom, Pays de Langres knows how to arouse every passion...
The Pays de Langres Tourist Office is at your disposal to help you organize your stay.
