Tour Philippe le Bon
About
The Montée de la Tour Philippe Le Bon is a 46‑metre icon nestled in the heart of Dijon, built between 1450 and 1460. A true emblem of Burgundy’s ducal splendor, the tower offers visitors an unforgettable 45‑minute guided tour that climbs its 316 steps to a sweeping 360° panorama of the city’s colorful rooftops and the surrounding countryside. Available in both French and English, the must‑see experience is highlighted by spectacular vistas, a deep dive into medieval history, and a chance to learn about the power of the Dukes of Burgundy. The tower is open year‑round, with low‑season hours from 10:45 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays and packed weekend schedules featuring multiple 45‑minute slots. Visitors are encouraged to book in advance—especially during peak periods—as tours run at a limited capacity of 18 people each. The tower is accessible via the Tourist Office at 11 Rue des Forges, 21000 Dijon, where you can find a city pass and additional visitor information.
