Tour Philippe le Bon, also known as Tower Terrace, is a tower designed by architect Jean Poncelet for the Duke of Burgundy Philip the Good. Construction took place in the 15th century, and visitors today will still be able to see several aspects of classical and renaissance architecture within the tower. You’ll learn all about the history of the tower and will surely pick up on interesting facts such as the tower being built over what was once an ancient tower called Brancion from the 12th century, and the ancient tower of a Gallo-Roman castrum prior. The tower gargoyles are one of the most photographed aspects of Tour Philippe le Bon, as are the unique panoramic views of Dijon from the summit.
