Above the lanes, Saint-Martin’s bell tower gives Le Plan-de-la-Tour a familiar landmark. The present church dates from 1785 and connects the village landscape with its history. Make it a stop on a village stroll, distinguishing exterior views from spaces actually open on the day.

“LOOK UP. THE VILLAGE HAS A STORY.”
FIND YOUR RHYTHM
THE STONE. THE TIME. THE VILLAGE.
01
A church within the village story
The tourist description dates the present building to 1785, replacing a chapel that had become too small. It uses local granite. Our advice: begin by looking at its proportions and materials from the square.
02
The tower, campanile and clock
The bell tower shapes the village skyline. The tourist office mentions a clock installed around 1880 and a mechanism displayed near the church entrance. Access depends on opening arrangements; this page does not promise a climb up the tower.
03
Location and visiting arrangements
The church is in the Place Clemenceau area. The map marker corresponds to the building recorded in OpenStreetMap. Ask the parish or tourist office about access on your date and respect services and any restrictions.
BEYOND THE FIRST LOOK
A stop on a village stroll
Combine the church with the lanes, squares and, on Thursday mornings, the Provençal market. The exterior gives a short visit a useful focus. Do not build your day around access to the tower without prior confirmation.
