Nice shot Bob, but while it was taken from a high vantage point, it's not 
taken from the King's Tower, but instead is taken from the wall/railing 
beside the church steeple and the restaurant/hotel now known as the 
Hostellerie de Plaisence and is looking down on the Place de l'Eglise 
Monolithe where I've had many a pleasant evening over the years. You can see 
the King's Tower at the top right side of your photograph.

I had a look in yours for either the father or the mother of the cat in my 
photograph, but no luck...

:-)
