Indexes to tower bell sites in France

Tower bell instruments or collections of 8 or more bells can be found in France.  This Website has a site data page for each such instrument or collection which is known.  To facilitate finding pages of interest to visitors, as well as to show related information about groups of sites, those site data pages are indexed in several different ways, as follows:

• Tower bell sites in this area can be categorized according to the type of instrument.  Each of the pages linked here presents a variety of indexes for one particular type of instrument:
  • Traditional carillons

  • Non-traditional carillons

  • Chimes and chime-sized sets of tower bells

• The following pages are not segregated by type of instrument:
  • Combined index by state and city
  • Combined index by city, regardless of state
    If you are looking for a specific site by its institutional name (e.g., a church or school) or by the instrument's proper name, pick either of the above indexes and then use the "find in page" feature of your Web browser to locate a distinctive word (or partial word) in that name.
