Radio explores time! Experience live the events that have marked the history of the city.

In the Petit-Sault tower, two historical events are highlighted:
the visit of King Francis I to Langres (mid-August 1521),
the case of the Pétard (August 20, 1591) Each of these events will be evoked via a sound clip resembling a modern «radio report».
The principle of restitution is to approach these events using a current medium (in this case “radio”), in order to give them a contemporary tone (sidewalk microphones, “live” reports, interviews, sound effects, etc.).
These sound clips of a few minutes will be broadcast in a loop 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.
