The Orient Gate gives access to a long narrow street lined with houses. It was built with large bricks: carrons. Before fortifying towns, building a castle and ramparts, it was first necessary to build a quarry. It was built in Saint Trivier de Courtes (village located 5 km away in the Ain department). The Duke of Burgundy placed an order for 250,000 carrons, which is colossal for a small town like Romenay. The ramparts were built gradually according to deliveries.
