The Desnos Tower is a medieval defensive tower dating back to the early 15th century. It is one of the few remaining towers of the northern city wall and was originally part of the fortifications of the "Bourg-Neuf," the newer district above the castle. It probably owes its name to Colin Desnos, a citizen of the city on whose land the tower was built. Over the centuries, the Desnos Tower served various purposes: initially for defense, later as a prison, and in the 19th century as part of a shoe factory.
