Tour Magne

Above the Jardins de la Fontaine rises the 114m/374ft high Mont Cavalier. On its summit stands the Tour Magne, a 30m/98ft high Roman monument, dating from the year 15 B.C. The tower is the largest feature of the wall which surrounded the town in the Roman era. From the top an extensive view of the city and surroundings may be enjoyed.
