The Grand Carillon of Douai is a set of 62 bells located in the belfry of the city of Douai, in France. It was inaugurated in 1962 and is one of the largest carillons in Europe. The bells are made by the Paccard foundries and are spread over four octaves, with the largest one weighing approximately 6 tons. The carillon is regularly played in public concerts by a professional carillonneur. It is an important part of the city's cultural heritage and contributes to the unique atmosphere of Douai.
