Nearby, slightly uphill along the western city walls, is La porte « d’en bas. From the 15th century, this entrance consisted of two towers connected by a wooden structure. A ditch and a drawbridge reinforced the defense system. According to the plan of the military engineer Franque from 1745, one still had to pass under two gates controlled by a bastion to enter the city.

When you are almost at the top, the entrance gates loom up in front of you. Take the time to stop and enjoy the beautiful surroundings where you are
