RAMPART WALK
Go there and contact
Take a stroll down Rue des Trois-Maillets, a peaceful, well-preserved site for gourmets.
The entrance of the promenade is made by a modern porch rue des Trois-Maillets (north side of the cathedral). It is a pedestrian passage, following the Gallo-Roman rampart of the fourth century after J.C. It is remarkably conserved: indeed, Philippe Auguste (the end of xiie century) has allowed people to build their homes on or against the wall, but without degrading it. You can admire this wall from 6 to 8 meters high, pierced with Romanesque, Gothic, or Renaissance windows, and where the defense towers integrate. It is a peaceful and retired place, paradise of cats and greedy: This is where the picturesque Cake-T tea room is located. In the face of this tea room, many houses dating back to the medieval era testify to the so-called "strap" construction, in a very visible way, on narrow and deep plots. Just before joining the George Sand staircase - one of the parcels perched in the wall and connecting the upper city to the lower city - where the promenade ends, you can admire the Aparaymé-Georges house, built in a style near that of the Palais Jacques Coeur. In 2016, the Ramparts Parkway was rehabilitated and a shared garden was even created.
