Marvelous gate to the old part of Besancon.

It is one of the last real defense gates in Besançon dating from the time of Charles V (16th century). Very well preserved, it is located at the foot of the rocky outcrop where the Citadel stands. Simple and elegant architecture, it deserves a little detour during your visit to Besançon or to meet it by chance as was our case. Vauban has nothing to do with its construction, but that does not detract from its charm.

Magnificent place in Besançon because I lived right in front of it I never tire of it

In a city where the defensive imprint of Vauban is omnipresent, this door has the particularity of being a survivor of the previous defensive system wanted by the Emperor Charles V to protect Besançon, city of the Holy Roman Empire, from the territorial aims of the Kingdom from nearby France. As such, it deserves to be seen.

Magnificent Porte du Faubourg Rivotte, like a passage through time to enter the old town. Shortly after the gate, a passage to the left leads to the cathedral and the accesses to the citadel. A little more peaceful area than the main streets of the city, but worth it.
