Porte Saint-Jean
Highlight • Historical Site
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.
