After the Revolution and the Empire, the city suffocated between its ramparts. As traffic grew, with the frequent passage of horses, handcarts and chariots, the municipal council asked the prefect for authorization to sell the two gates with a view to demolishing them. Permission was granted in 1824. The population was not consulted. Madame Gonet, owner of one side of the tower, refuses the compensation of 60 francs and thus saves the Western Gate. The door is built in square.
