LA PROMENADE ANNE D'ALÈGRE

At the beginning of the 13th century, the development of the city encouraged it to equip itself with its own fortification system. This enclosure was more than 1100 meters long, flanked by 27 towers and pierced by 3 porte cochères (including the Porte Beucheresse) and 2 poternes. In the 15th century, the restoration of the city walls following the passage of the English was accompanied by the installation of a covered way on machicolations crowning the curtains. The fortifications underwent important destructions during the great urban works of the 19th century. The Anne d'Allègre promenade was built in the moat of the southern rampart.
