Belfries and towers of the French Clock

We have grouped here two monuments that are the same and symbolize civil power, against religious power. The term "clock tower" in the south and "belfry" in the north will be used more readily. 



NB : For regions that have not been regrouped, namely: Bretagne, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Corse, Île-de-France, Pays-de-la-Loire, Provence-Alpes-Côte-D'azur, you must not navigate through the navigation opposite, but by the "classic" route below, to discover the subcategories of your department.
