La Grosse Cloche
Bordeaux, France
Dating back to the 15th century, La Grosse Cloche is a medieval bell tower marking the southern entrance to Bordeaux's old town. Visitors are greeted by its grand Gothic arches and can climb 40 meters to see the ornate clock mechanism still in action. Ideal for history buffs, its charm is best appreciated in the early morning light when the cobbled streets are just waking up.
