Lonely Planet review

The Gothic, 29m-high Tower of John the Fearless was built by the duke of Bourgogne as part of a splendid mansion in the early 15th century so he could hide at the very top, safe from his enemies. It is one of the very few examples of feudal military architecture extant in Paris. Visitors can ascend the 140 steps of the spiral staircase to the turret on top.
