Approximately 50 stations were built for this purpose or were erected on existing buildings, such as the Saint-Sulpice church in Paris. In Alsace, the telegraph was no longer used since the train and electric telegraphy were put into operation in 1852. In the The only remaining tower of the former telegraph Chappe of Saverne, the workings can be viewed. The tower museum is run by a team of volunteers.

        Optical telegraph tower according to the system of Claude Chappe.

        Here, from the end of the 18th century, messages were relayed over long distances by means of moving mechanical arms.

        Somewhat more modern than smoke and light signs ...

        A small exhibition shows the structure and functioning.

        Opening times: May to mid-September - 1 to 6 pm

        Admission: 2 € for adults
