Follow in the footsteps of kings and queens to reveal the secrets of this place steeped in history and legends.

A dive into medieval history

In the Middle Ages, at the time of knights and lords, the Charlemagne Tower was the heart of the Saint-Martin collegiate church. This place of pilgrimage was one of the most important in France. Pilgrims from all over Europe flocked to the basilica to admire the tower which dominated the city from its imposing height.
