 BOULIERE GATE Listed Building - 13th century - Modified in the 16th and 19th centuries. 52000 LANGRES GPS : 47.863162,5.330539   Tel. : 03 25 87 67 67 Fax : 03 25 87 73 33 Mail : info@tourisme-langres.com Created at the beginning of the 13th century at the time of the first extension of the walls towards the south, this gate was to be further protected by the addition of a triangular barbican in the 14th century. An allegoric statue of the town of Langres, a young, armed female, ornamented this monumental gate. Originally called ‘porte boveliere’, this gate seems to owe its name to the passage of animals on their way to be butchered, in the street of the same name. Altered in 1854, the barbican was finally demolished in 1906 in order to allow access to the nearby ‘porte des Terreaux’.
