Tower of Fearless Jean

Old townhouse of Jean Sans Peur

20 Rue Etienne Marcel
Paris 75002
+33 1 4026 2028

Who is Jean Sans Peur (Fearless Jean)? He is the man responsible for the Hundred Years' War. His big mistake? Murdering Louis d'Orléans in 1407. Halfway up the tower where he used to live, you can find an enchanting vault encrusted with leafy greenery. The structure also houses the council of the duke of Burgundy. The vault of the large screw is one of the masterpieces of the French Gothic sculpture. Entry is EUR5; reduced rate EUR3; guided tour EUR8.
