Tour Pey-Berland
The gargoyled, 50m-high Gothic belfry, Tour Pey-Berland was erected between 1440 and 1466. Its spire was added in the 19th century, and in 1863 it was topped off with the statue of Notre Dame de l’Aquitaine (Our Lady of Aquitaine). Scaling the tower’s 232 narrow steps rewards you with a spectacular panorama of the city.
