Door in broken arch with important voussures, the oldest vestige of Bresse, witness of the existence of the Dominican convent.
At the corner of the rue de la République and the rue Jules Migonney, this gate is the oldest vestige of the town, the last obvious witness to the existence of the Dominican convent. This building was in fact partly dismantled during the Revolution, and the rest sold to different owners. It was founded in 1414 by the Dukes of Savoy and financed by master clothiers, the Guyot brothers, whose coat of arms appears on the base of a niche on the right of the door. A door with a pointed arch and important arches which give it its relief.

La porte des Jacobins surprend par ses dimensions, son arche gotique et les belles maisons à colombages qui l'entourent. Ce monument, ainsi que la vieille-ville de Bourg-en-Bresse, sont à mon point de vue injustement méconnus, à côté de la splendeur du monastère royal de Brou. Cependant, ils sont aussi intéressants à visiter. Ne les manquez pas !

C'est selon moi un des plus beaux monuments de bourg, témoin de l'histoire de la ville et entouré de charmantes maisons à colombages, à ne surtout pas rater!
