This 14-meter high (about 72 feet)
gate house was the entrance of the village when coming
from the South. It was called the "Porte du Midi",
or South Gate. It was built in 1312 at the same time as the
second curtain
wall to circumvent the newest part of the
village.
This scene has been designed to show the various medieval techniques used to build
such constructions. The final model will feature many
masons,
blacksmiths, woodcutters and more.
