Radio explores time! Live the events that marked the history of Langres.

  • The Petit-Sault Tower will be part of a double commemoration:
  • the 500th anniversary of the visit of King Francis I to Langres (mid-August 1521),
  • the 430th anniversary of the Pétard affair (August 20, 1591)
    Each of these events will be evoked via a sound clip similar to a modern «radio reportage». The principle of restitution is to approach these events using a current media (in this case the “radio”) in order to give them a contemporary tone (micros-trottoirs, “live” reports, interviews, sound effects, etc.). These few-minute sound clips will be looped inside the tower.

À propos du lieu

Tour du Petit-Sault
Promenade de Montréal, 52200 Langres
  • Haute-Marne
  • Grand Est
The Petit-Sault Tower is an artillery tower built between 1517 and 1521 to complete the urban enclosure of Langres. Begun before 1517, this tower was almost finished when Francis I came in 1521.
It is an artillery tower whose architectural party is original: the U-shaped plan allows a reinforced control of the base of the enclosure thanks to its elongated flanks. Its walls are particularly thick (up to 7 meters) and the interior layout follows the slope of the terrain. The high room, rectangular and vaulted with warheads, has two lateral casemates with wide embrasures. The second room, below, is connected to the previous one by a large staircase worthy of a palace. This semi-circular vaulted room is equipped with two lateral casemates and a frontal one.
