The clock is located on the top of a magnificent medieval tower executed in Gothic style. The clock is a unique construction. The clock movement is considered to be one of the oldest movements in Europe. The movement of the clock has scrupulously been running for several centuries by now. Among religious landmarks and sites of the city tourists are recommended to visit the Eglise de Jeanne d’Arc. This remarkable church was built exactly on the square where the punishment of the folk heroine of France took place.

A new church was built not long ago, just in 1979. A scale cathedral stood earlier on its place. Some elements the church has inherited from its predecessor. During an excursion tourists will have a chance to observe beautiful stain glass windows of the 16th century.
