Porte de Paris

The Porte de Paris is a monumental gate situated at the center of the city of Arras in Northern France. It is the last vestige of the ancient city fortifications that were erected in the 17th century. Visitors to this area of France can marvel in the grandeur and majesty of this impressive structure that is still standing almost 400 years after it was built. Photographers will especially appreciate the historic backdrop it provides and the unique angles one can capture of its massive stone wall, turrets and crenelations. Its stunning sunsets, with the golden hour light reflecting off its walls, are also a sight to behold.
