Tips from the Community
This gate owes its name to the old mills located outside the fortifications to harness the wind (the "Bel'air," which gave the square its name). It is part of the bastion fortifications built south of the city walls between 1642 and 1647.

A beautiful local recreation area for hiking, swimming, and other recreational activities. The path around the lake is more suitable for hiking than cycling. We still managed it, though.

The Porte des Moulins is one of the impressive city gates and dates back to the 17th century. It was once the main entrance to the fortified city and is now a listed monument.

This vast expanse of water of 290 ha allows the practice of many activities. If you have a sporty soul, a 16 km route even allows you to go around it on foot or by mountain bike.

In this square in the centre stands a statue of the philosopher Diderot. In the shadow of the statue of this great man, a "selfie bench" has been placed, where you can take a picture of yourself next to the "Nephew of Rameau". Michel Boussard made the statue of the nephew, a famous character in Diderot's book "The Nephew of Rameau" (which was published after his death in 1821).

This Louis XIII-style gate (1647) has retained its military character. It has a dome with chestnut shingles and is decorated with an allegory of the French victories at the end of the Thirty Years' War.
