• Tour Renard

Built between 1465 and 1477 the tower is pierced by loopholes (i.e. arrowslits) and topped by a domed roof of lava slabs.

On 10 October 1888 it witnessed President Sadi Carnot's triumphal arrival at Beaune's railway station.
During the French Revolution it was used to store saltpetre.

The site is private; the tower can be viewed from the boulevard or the Tour des Remparts

If you take Rue Armand Gouffé then Rue du Tribunal, you come to Place Ziem, which contains Saint Etienne Chapel and the cloister of the former Carmelite convent.
