What you'll see
A wooded hill of orchards, rose gardens and winding paths above the Lesser Town, topped by a small steel lookout tower; there are views over the river and the roofs all the way up.
A brief history
The lookout tower was built for an exhibition in 1891, loosely modelled on the Eiffel Tower, which had opened two years earlier.
