Tour du Roi is literally the Tower of the King and it is located in the wall of Mont-Saint-Michel, a very known place in Normandy, in the North of France. It is one of the towers in the wall and it is possible to walk on the top. I came here with my family (with my daughter almost 3 years old in August-2018) and she enjoyed anloy running in this place and seeing the very beautiful views of the ocean.
