FRENCH DOOR
A remarkable gate facing the Fecht, built in the century, a work full of history in Turckheim, to discover.
Dating from the 14th century, this massive and imposing gate is one of the three emblematic gates of this medieval city. The Porte de France was once used for economic exchanges and was equipped with a drawbridge and a portcullis, turrets but also doors that were closed at nightfall. It has successively borne the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire and Louis XIV. Its pointed roof is home to a stork's nest and you can see them if you open your eyes wide. A monument not to be missed during your stay in the city.

La Porte de France a porté successivement différentes armoiries. Avec un peu de chance en été, vous y verrez des cigognes sur le nid posé à son sommet. Franchissez cette jolie porte et visitez cette charmante petite ville qui vaut le déplacement. Durant les marchés de Noël, allez voir l'ouverture d'un volet du calendrier de l'avent, par les enfants de la ville, prolongeant ainsi une jolie tradition.
