Tips from the Community
The Porte Saint-Jean is one of the old city gates of La Souterraine. What you see now is modest, but in the Middle Ages it was a serious entrance to the walled city. Why it's nice: This was literally the city's checkpoint. Anyone who wanted to enter was examined here. The name probably refers to a nearby chapel or hospital of Saint-Jean. You're essentially walking through a 13th-14th-century section here, without it being ostentatious. What many people miss: La Souterraine was an important stop on a side route of the pilgrimage route to Santiago. It's likely that pilgrims, traders, and soldiers passed through here centuries ago.

The Saint-Jean gate is one of the emblems of La Souterraine. It was used to defend the city and was remodeled in the 15th century. We admire the two round turrets visible on the exterior facade. The door can be visited independently. To do this, simply ask for the keys at the Bar du Marché.
