Tips from the Community
Until the mid-19th century, the remains of a Gallo-Roman arch, which marked the northern city limit, were still visible. After being integrated into the fortifications at the end of the 3rd century and becoming a city gate, this structure owes its name either to its length or to a legendary king named Longo, whose effigy was mounted on a corbel overlooking the city. Around 1538, a barbican was built in front of the gate to prevent a frontal assault.

Small wooden pontoon that allows you to go a few meters beyond the shore, offering a view of almost the entire lake and the dam. A place full of serenity, very relaxing panorama.

The Tour des Remparts (~3.5 km) is great for a run, because it is perfectly serviced, almost car-free all the way, and constantly offers a beautiful view. It is mainly tarmac or cement, generally very flat with a few short steep sections.

The Longe-Porte still has its 17th century guardhouse intact. The barbican of the “Longe-Porte” gate, projecting from the ramparts, allowed for increased control of access to the town of Langres.
