At the heart of the city stands one of the oldest bell towers in France, the only remnant of the ancient city walls, whose bells have characterized life in Bordeaux since the thirteenth century.

The Grosse Cloche is the former town hall tower, which functioned as the city gate after the demolition of the former main building. A large bell weighing around 8 tons, which has been in the tower since 1775, gives it its name. It is also depicted in the city coat of arms. The bell is located in the central part of the tower and is flanked by two 41 meter high towers. Furthermore, a clock from the year 1759 is visible from afar.
