Porte Boulière is a historic monument in Langres, a city in the Grand Est region of France. It is one of the gates that give access to the fortified city, which is surrounded by a wall 3.5 km long. The gate was built in the early 13th century, when the city expanded to the south. The name of the gate refers to the slaughter of animals, which took place in the nearby streets. The gate was protected by a triangular barbican, a defensive structure added in the 16th century. However, the barbican was demolished in 1906 to facilitate traffic.
