The French Gate at Obertorplatz (Upper Gate Square) marked the southern boundary of the city of Landau in earlier times. Its counterpart, the German Gate at Untertorplatz (Lower Gate Square), bordered Landau to the north. In medieval times, these two city gates were the only possible entrances to the city. The construction of both structures as part of the Vauban fortress dates back to the French architect Sébastien de Vauban and thus to the time when the city of Landau belonged to France. During this period, these two city gates were the only possible access points to the city. Both gates are identical in their design: in the style of Roman triumphal arches, they display the coat of arms of the Bourbon dynasty and that of Louis XIV, the Sun King. Even today, the heart of Landau's city center unfolds between the two gates, which are located approximately 900 meters apart.

Landau Fortress could only be entered or exited through two main gates—the "German Gate" in the north and the "French Gate" in the south. These imposing gates secured the vulnerable approaches to the fortress and also symbolized the French king's claim to power. The Bourbon coat of arms (the fleurs-de-lis), the sculpted head of the Sun King, and his motto, "Nec pluribus impar" (Not equal to many), displayed in the gate's pediment, were intended to vividly convey the Sun King's self-image to visitors from afar.

The view of the Trifels is omnipresent in Annweiler.

The French Gate – also known as the Lower Gate, formerly called the Porte de France – is a listed building in Landau in der Pfalz. It marks the southern end of the old town and is located at Obertorplatz 4. An epitaph for Joseph de Montclar, also a listed monument, is located there. The gate, built between 1688 and 1691, together with its northern counterpart – the German Gate – forms one of two remaining sections of the main wall of the Landau fortress. Until well into the 19th century, it was only one of two ways to enter or leave the city. Partly because this became an increasing obstacle after the opening of the Neustadt–Wissembourg railway line and the city's train station, the fortress was abandoned in 1871, and another, eastern entrance was created in the form of what is now Ostbahnstraße. ... The structure is a Baroque gateway, consisting of a partially three-aisled hall and a magazine building, dating from around 1690. Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban was the architect responsible for its design. The gateway's design is a reference to the French King Louis XIV.

Fantastic view over the vineyards.

very nice break area

Rode yesterday. A truly beautiful stretch in the wonderful Palatinate region, on a lovely, quiet county road and superb road-bike asphalt.

Beautiful trail, even with a road bike
