The Porte du Pont is a monument in Vitry-le-François, in the Marne department. It is a classical gate built in 1746 in honour of Louis XIV. It was the western entrance to the fortified town of Vitry-le-François. It is the only remnant of the four gates that once formed the town. It was classified as a historical monument in 1920. It was demolished in 1938 and rebuilt in 1982 on its present site, at the northern entrance to the town. It stands as a testament to the history and architecture of Vitry-le-François.
