Review & FAQ:
Built in the 15th century, The Grosse Cloche is a 7.75-ton 18th-century bell in Bordeaux’ town hall. One of the best-known landmarks in Bordeaux, the clock has several distinguishing features, including two conical bell towers, a gold-plated copper weathervane in the shape of a large feline, the massive Great Bell, and the clock with its unusual semi-circular dial. La Grosse Cloche is one of the few remaining fragments from the city’s medieval period and is prominently displayed on the city’s coat of arms. La Grosse Cloche comes alive during big public celebrations like Bastille Day.
