The Porte Horloge de Vire is an impressive wicket tower built in the 13th century as part of the city's fortifications and topped with a clock gifted by King Louis XI in the 15th century. You can admire the architecture and the statue of the Virgin Mary, believed to protect the city, as well as the exhibitions held inside the tower during the summer. La Porte Horloge is located in the center of the city and is easily accessible by bike.
