It owed its name to nearby rue Surchoue, which was transformed in 1855 into the present-day boulevard De Lattre. Before 1412, defence of the wall was assured by a structure called a ‘Chaffaud’, a wooden construction crowning and hanging over the rampart. Its replacement by a tower, called for stone, which came from a quarry to the south of the town, a place called Blanchefontaine. The roof was in flat stones, called Laves, which came from the village of Perrancey, about ten kilometres away. Telephone mobile 03 25 87 67 67 Dates and Times of opening Free access all the year.
