This gate owes its name to the old mills located outside the fortifications to harness the wind (the "Bel'air," which gave the square its name). It is part of the bastion fortifications built south of the city walls between 1642 and 1647.

Very beautiful village

A beautiful local recreation area for hiking, swimming, and other recreational activities. The path around the lake is more suitable for hiking than cycling. We still managed it, though.

The source of the Meuse River is located in Pouilly-en-Bassigny (409 m), about 32 km by bike from Langres. Information boards have been set up here, and a lovely rest area has been created. The waters flow gently, almost sleepily, from the source of the Meuse and wind their way through stunning landscapes from the Vosges Mountains through Belgium's Ardennes to the flatlands of the Netherlands, 1,000 km to Rotterdam. Breathtaking nature, historic towns, and, above all, a magnificent cycle path.

The Porte des Moulins is one of the impressive city gates and dates back to the 17th century. It was once the main entrance to the fortified city and is now a listed monument. The fortifications stretch over 3.5 kilometers with seven gates and twelve towers. From the city walls, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the region.

This vast expanse of water of 290 ha allows the practice of many activities. If you have a sporty soul, a 16 km route even allows you to go around it on foot or by mountain bike.

Provenchères-sur-Meuse is a small village whose Saint-Èvre church is listed as a Historic Monument. It has a single nave with a polygonal apse and two side chapels.

This gate (1604) was the mandatory access to the suburb of Sous-Murs. The moat and the drawbridge of the defense system have been preserved.
