Tips
The ramparts of Magny were pierced with four doors, open towards Paris, Rouen, Beauvais and Vernon. As part of the construction of the new route of the royal road from Paris to Rouen, the entrances to the city are slightly moved, and the old gates whose defensive role has become obsolete are razed. The pillars symbolically mark the entrance to the city from the capital, in place of the old Porte de Paris. (Wikipedia).
