A superb arch, with superb medallions, built in place of one of the gates of the old city wall in Montpellier.

The emblem of the city, this gateway was erected at the end of the 17th century at the instigation of the Sun King. Designed by architect François d'Orbay (a pupil of Mansart), the arch was built in place of one of the gates in the city's old ramparts. The façade features superb medallions depicting the King striking down an eagle (Empire) and a lion (England). On the more peaceful side, a trio of figures symbolizes the Canal du Midi, linking the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. From up here, the panorama is splendid.

L'arc de triomphe est imposant et impressionnant. Avec une belle couleur on peut très bien admirer les sculptures sur les deux façades.

joli monument emblématique de la ville. Récemment rénové en plus, il sera magnifique sur vos photos (pensez à en faire des jardins du pérou avec l'arc derrière). Dés visites permettant de monter à son sommet sont possibles avec l'office de tourisme de la ville.
