The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette porte est la seule demeurant de celles qui s'ouvraient sur les anciens remparts. A l'extérieur, elle s'ouvre sous un arc brisé, avec un chanfrein, surmonté d'une bretèche dont il ne reste que les mâchicoulis ornés de trois boudins. Du côté intérieur de la ville, l'arc est en plein cintre surbaissé.

History
This door is the only one remaining of those which opened onto the ancient ramparts. On the outside, it opens under a pointed arch, with a chamfer, surmounted by a bretèche of which only the machicolations ornate with three beads remain. On the inner side of the town, the arch is a depressed round arch.
