Cahors - Tour Jean XXII / Tour St Jean

Just off Place de-Gaulle is the 34m/112ft high Tour Jean XXII, a relic of an old palace. Farther north, on a crag, is the Tour St-Jean, which, like the Barbacane, the old Guard-House (15th C.), was part of the town's defenses. In the highest part of the old town is the church of St-Barthélemy (14th C.).
