Saint Nicholas Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Classified as a Remarkable Site of Taste, it is a Burgundian mecca for events, and for the promotion of traditional Burgundian gastronomy and Burgundy wines by the brotherhood of the Knights of Tastevin. In 2006, the Climats of Burgundy were included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
