The Tower of Horror

Halloween at La Tour from 30 to 31 October!

Every year, as Halloween approaches, something changes at the top of the Philippe le Bon Tower. The 316 steps leading to the top are transformed into a gateway to a strange world, where ghosts, vampires and creatures of the night seem to have made their home. Once again this year, the Tower of Horror opens its doors to those who dare to cross the threshold.

Do you really think you know all about the famous tower that rises 46 metres above Dijon? Its history, its patron, Philip the Good, its secrets… Yet, once a year, on Halloween, it reveals a completely different side. A horde of monsters, ghosts and terrifying creatures takes over the place, and the gatekeeper of darkness stands guard at the entrance.

A climb… and much more besides

The adventure begins right from the very first steps. The higher you climb, the stranger the atmosphere becomes. At the summit, the encounters promise a few thrills, surprises and perhaps even some treats for the bravest visitors – provided, of course, that the creatures agree to let their visitors come back down.

There’s just one rule for entry: come in fancy dress. Scary costumes, mysterious outfits or the most inventive disguises are all welcome. Because at the Tower of Horror, everyone becomes a part of the strangest night of the year.
