The Tour de Bécamel in Salindres, also known as Donjon de Becmil, is a historic signal tower ruin dating from the early 12th century. It was originally the home of a knightly family called Becmil. In the late 12th century, the site was converted into a stately residence. The Becmil line died out in the 14th century. The tour is located south of the town of Salindres, about 45 km northwest of Nîmes and 7 km northeast of Alès.
