Porte de France

The Gate of France controlled the road to Belfort to the north of the town. Rebuilt in 1563 and transformed in 1744, it is flanked by two round towers and its clock dates from the end of the 17th century. Beyond the gate, Faubourg de France leads to the old town, where our stroll takes you along the banks of the Allaine, the river just below us on our left.
