La Tour Cesar
rue de la Pie, 77160 Provins France
Built on the edge of a rocky spur at the beginning of the 12th century, the tower protects the former Earl’s Palace and dominates the valley. The tower is a potent symbol of power for the Earls of Champagne. The keep’s highly complex layout gives it a unique, massive and powerful appearance making it one of the most original stately dwellings of its time. The new scenography will take you back in time to give you a glimpse of the everyday life at the tower eight centuries ago. It used to be a watchtower, a prison, a bell-tower, and a place of military retreat. The keep offers a panoramic view over the town and its surroundings! Annual closure on 25 December and 1 January.

Les Souterrains de Provins
3 rue Saint-Thibault, 77160 Provins France
Originally these galleries were used as a quarry to extract a special type of fuller's earth for degreasing wool cloth (the wool cloth had a renowned deep blue almost black color and was much in demand during the Middle Ages). Once the cavities had been dug out, they became hiding-places, storerooms and also meeting places for various gatherings - some freemasons. Graffiti inscriptions, including Masonic symbols, testify to this. The times correspond to the departure times of the guided tours, every 30 minutes. 25 persons maximum for your own safety and to preserve the undergrounds. To be booked when purchasing ticket at the Tourist Office or in the monuments (except museum). Good to know: opening times correspond to the departures of the guided tours. Annual closure on 25 December and 1 January.

The Saint-Jean's Gate and The Ramparts
77160 Provins France
These magnificent structures, which are currently being restored, were built in the 13th century. Growing as the city grew, they protected and surrounded, in the Middle Ages, the entire city of Provins. Today we can admire a beautiful part, and the complexity of the towers, which each have a different shape. Two fortified gates are still visible: the Saint-Jean gate, with its two almond-shaped towers, which defended the old Paris Road; and the Jouy gate, once surmounted by a bell, a small keep with a bell, which made it possible to watch out for the enemy and warn in case of danger.
