Tour de Drince, Observation tower in Rombas, France.

The Tour de Drince stands 25 meters tall with a metal structure at 390 meters altitude, featuring eleven levels with eleven steps each to reach observation platforms.

The original wooden tower, built in 1907, was destroyed during World War I in 1914, leading to the construction of the current steel structure in 1932.

The Tour de Drince represents the heritage of the Lorraine steel industry, constructed with local materials through the efforts of the Club Vosgien hiking association.

The tower provides access to multiple hiking trails, including the GR5, with a parking area at the base for visitors arriving by car.

From the highest platform at 24.20 meters, visitors can observe landscapes extending 80 kilometers across France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Ardennes region.
