Fortified city under Louis XIV, Givet then opened by six gates, all equipped with a drawbridge and near which was a bodyguard, sheltering a soldier in charge of the watch.
Today of these six gates, only three remain:
Porte de France on route 8051
Porte de Rancennes near the Quai de Rancennes
Porte Charbonnière at the end of the Quai Dervaux.
But what were the three other doors that have now disappeared?
To the east, the gate of the old Récollets
To the north, the Porte des Récollets
Right bank side the Luxembourg gate
