It’s recommended to book tickets at least 24 hours in advance, whether online or at the local tourism office.

Owing to its historical architecture and spiral staircase, the tower is not accessible to disabled visitors and is not recommended for those with claustrophobia.

The Cesar Tower is included in the cost-saving Pass Provins, which entitles visitors entry to five of the town’s top historical attractions.

For one night each in July and August, the tower is lit by more than 700 candles after dark as part of the “Provins by Night” event; check dates in advance.
