Clock-tower in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune

The clock tower in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune rises from Place Vauboin and displays early twentieth-century architectural details. It stands at the junction of two historic royal roads that pass through town.

The tower was built from 1907 to 1908 by architects Émile-Auguste Chollat and Victor-Adrien Robert working with sculptor Pierre Devaux. Originally it belonged to a church complex that was modified and renamed in the following century.

The clock tower serves as a focal point in the town center where locals pass through daily. It marks where important roads meet and provides a reference point for the community.

You can find the tower at 83 avenue du 8 Mai 1945 in the town center. Multiple public transport options connect this location to the nearby city of Lyon and surrounding areas.

This tower is the sole surviving part of a former church that once occupied this location before undergoing modification. Its details still reveal the connection to the religious building that existed here centuries ago.
