FORTIFICATIONS
The fortifications are an integral part of lancherise identity. They testify to the development and power of the city. In the course of its history, Langres will continue to strengthen its defensive system, a strong place facing Burgundy, Franche-Comté and Lorraine, hence the need for protection. From xve to xvie, the doors of Saint-Fergeux (1470), Navarre and Orval (1519), Petit Sault (1521) and Saint-Jean in 1538 will be grafted on the enclosure. The walls are thick by several meters, we can insert large guns. You can make the round road (3 km) in its entirety, to cross the seven towers and six doors, including the gallo-roman door, and enjoy the panorama. The circuit is marked on the round road. These fortifications are going to be restored, with a fine budget of EUR 6 million just being allocated. The work is expected to last eight years, and the Navarre Tower will be the first to recover.

Certaines tours sont à visiter, les charpentes en bois sont magnifiques. Le cœur de la ville ne manque pas de charme avec ses monuments, la statue de Diderot, etc.
