This clock was installed in the year 1369 - one year earlier than the clock at the Palais de la Cite in Paris.

Today you see at the bell-tower a copy of that old bell. The original is kept in the Sainte-Cappelle.

At the terrace of this bell tower you will find an information board with details about the bell - in French, Englisch and Spanish.
