Unexplainably forgotten for 140 years, the Saussy tower is a unique building in France: the only water tower whose lift pump was powered by a wind turbine. You can also take a guided tour of the site (30 minutes) and go to the historic carousel designed by Paul BREDIN, the tower builder. A carriage shuttle will take you there! A few kilometers from Saussy, you can also visit the site of the Forges de Val Suzon.
Please note: The videos are looped, the guided tours are conducted throughout the arrivals. No booking required.
