Tour du Doyenné

The Tour du Doyenné features a solid stone construction with an interior staircase that connected different levels of the cathedral dean's residence.

This sixteenth-century tower was dismantled in 1907 for sale in Paris, then returned to the city by patron Franck Jay Gould after World War I.

The monument exemplifies medieval ecclesiastical architecture, serving as a passage between different sections of the dean of canons' residence.

Located at 15 Quai Jules Chambion, the tower can be reached through pedestrian streets from the city center and viewed from outside throughout the year.

This tower stands as a rare example of a medieval structure that made a round trip between its original city and Paris before its final reinstallation.
