    One of the defensive gates integrated into the walls of the city of Yvoire, pointing towards Geneva.

    Very beautiful gate and beautiful medieval city! In addition to the normal souvenirs, there are also special items in the alleys. 👍
    A tour is really worth it!

    The Nernier gate formerly controlled access to the village with the Rovorée gate.
    They were closed in the evening and lined with a portcullis, the passage of which can still be seen in the stones.
    To ensure the defense of the village, the entrance was topped by a tower, which is still well preserved today.
    The tower, measuring 5 m by 6 m, was equipped with loopholes and hoardings and a bridge made it possible to cross the moat.
