Saint-Jean Cathedral's Astronomical Clock Returns After Being Vandalized - Lyon

Restitution of the astronomical clock of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste-et-Saint-Étienne cathedral, dating from 1379, and measuring 10 meters high with six floors. In 2013, it was attacked with an iron bar by an unbalanced person, and has remained out of use ever since. After restoration by François Botton, chief architect of historic monuments, the cogwheel clock - the only one in France to have retained its original mechanism, and one of the oldest in the world still in operation - returned to its original position today.
