For Miss Earth Paris
Who wants to search for treasure is armed with his shovel from his pocket, and forward. Then came the digging around castles, old trees, cemeteries. In Paris, there is nevertheless a treasure that failed, instead of being holed up six feet underground ... spread on top of a staircase. Better still, this treasure is itself within a another treasure too long ignored: the tower John the Fearless. Attention record! It remains to date the only vestige of civil construction of the Middle Ages remaining in Paris.
We are in 1407. King Charles VI was suffering from insanity. Which may well succeed him? John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy then, found a radical solution. He murdered the king's brother, the Duke of Orleans, and finds himself master of Paris. So what if civil war broke out soon after the news spread, between the Burgundians (supporters of the Duke of Burgundy) and the Armagnacs (supporters of the Duke of Orleans).
John the Fearless has no use and governs from the Hotel de Bourgogne in Paris. Yet something bothers him. As a feeling of incompleteness, a lack. He finally found it!
Four years later, in 1411, Parisians discover the tower ended without fear that John has just planted in his hotel as a symbol of his power. And for good reason: the tower dominates the Hotel de Bourgogne and probably all of Paris at the time. 
As for the treasure in the treasure ... Within the tower, the staircase (a spiral staircase) is wound around a core stone, which ends on the branches with a petrified tree, cut on site. A unique masterpiece in France. A tree
? Or rather three intertwined: hops, symbol of John the Fearless. The oak tree, symbol of his father, Philip the Bold. Hawthorn, a symbol of his mother, Margaret of Flanders.
Much effort for little effect: in 1419, John the Fearless was assassinated by a shot too ... a coup d'Armagnac, of course.Tour Jean sans Peur
