The old fortified gate with drawbridge, known as the Porte du Bourgneuf, saw the arrival of many important figures: Henry II, accompanied by Catherine de Medici, was received by the canons in 1548 under a freshly painted triumphal arch with the sound of tambourines; Charles IX, accompanied by the Queen Mother, stayed briefly in 1594 and the gate was decorated again when Louis XIII entered in 1629 on his way to the Alps and Queen Anne of Austria the following year. The most pompous entry, however, was that of Louis XIV and the Queen on 19 and 20 November 1658, when the canon was fired.

Since 1770, the new grand gate, which Mayor Maufoux wanted to bring the city up to date and which was designed by the architect Lenoir Le Romain from Dijon, has welcomed visitors from the north.

The gate does not fit stylistically with the medieval city wall and is clearly the result of a later need for recognition. From here you can walk eastwards along a large part of the city wall, which is often still intact.

The city gate would be achieved in the Baroque style and looks like a trump card.
