Tour Pey-Berland (Tower of Pey-Berland), Bordeaux
Views across Bordeaux from the top of the tower
Flanking the Cathédrale Saint-André, this tower (and the square in which it sits) is named after the Archbishop Pey-Berland.
Built in the 15th century, between 1440 and 1446, it is topped with a gold statue of the Virgin and Child and has a huge eight-tonne bell.
A stunning example of Gothic architecture you can also climb the tower for wonderful panoramic views across the city.
