Historique
Cette porte, rattachée à un fragment des anciens remparts, se compose d'une voûte en berceau ogivale, surmontée d'une maçonnerie qui devait constituer un chemin de ronde, sans doute crénelé.

History
This door, attached to a fragment of the old ramparts, consists of a barrel vault with pointed arch, surmounted by masonry which must have constituted a wall-walk, doubtless crenellated.
