Why go

Built for the cathedral but standing apart from it, the tower makes an unusual pair with the Gothic church across Place Pey-Berland. Its sculpted exterior and gilded Notre-Dame d’Aquitaine can be admired from the square; climbing to the observation terraces adds a broad view of Bordeaux for visitors comfortable with stairs.

What to look for

The tower stands apart from Cathédrale Saint-André.
A gilded Notre-Dame d’Aquitaine crowns the spire.
Observation terraces look across central Bordeaux.

Useful to know

Assess the 231-step spiral climb before committing to the summit.
Check the monument’s current timed-entry arrangements before planning the climb.
