    The Tour des Dames is one of the four towers built at the beginning of the 16th century.
    Its wall is 7 m thick. The tower takes its name from the ladies of Lieu-Dieu, nuns from the Cistercian monastery located inland from the coast, who sought refuge in the city in the 17th century due to the uncertain times.
    The traces of this Bernardine convent have disappeared today, apart from the name that the tower and this part of the city walls have kept.
    Planted with plane trees, which are now 200 years old, this rampart was one of the most frequented promenades of Beaune's high society in the 19th century. It is still accessible today, although not much of the tower can be seen from the outside of the wall.
