This octagonal stone tower on a square base, located on the street Grand-Saint-Esprit, almost opposite the church of the same name. Noble Gene Guyran notary in Aix, built it at his own expense about the middle of the XV century. This tower served as a bell tower in the Augustinian church, which was destroyed during the Revolution. Clock, bell and iron frame that supports it, refer to 1677.
