Cycling

The complex of buildings that you can see from this point was built in the 14th century and is part of the Great Wall of Verdun. Its shape is horseshoe-shaped and also bears the name Tour du Puty. The name "Plaids" comes from the court sessions that were held there in the Middle Ages. The Puty Canal flows under the Tour des Plaids. It is one of the many canals of the Meuse at Verdun. These canals are a reminder of the time when tanneries for the army represented an important part of Verdun's industrial activity.
