    Running

    Located in Argentière-la-Bessée, the Hermes clock tower, built between 1920 and 1922, overlooks the town from its rock. Nicknamed "the bosses' clock", it testifies to a municipal initiative against the metallurgical factories. A dated bench invites you to admire the view. Nearby, the Via Ferrata offers a getaway. Although not currently open to visitors, the hope of opening during heritage days persists.
