These magnificent structures, which are currently being restored, were built in the 13th century. Growing as the city grew, they protected and surrounded, in the Middle Ages, the entire city of Provins. Today we can admire a beautiful part, and the complexity of the towers, which each have a different shape. Two fortified gates are still visible: the Saint-Jean gate, with its two almond-shaped towers, which defended the old Paris Road; and the Jouy gate, once surmounted by a bell, a small keep with a bell, which made it possible to watch out for the enemy and warn in case of danger.
These splendid fortified walls built in13th century are really very impressive. The gate’s purpose with its two almond-shaped towers, was to ensure protection of the old road to Paris. Walk alongside these walls and feel the medieval atmosphere of the town. You can also get on top of the wall and enjoy the great view of the town and the fields surrounding the town.

A medieval town close to Paris that you can visit all year round ! During the 12th and 13th centuries, Provins is at the height of its fame thanks to the famous Trade Fairs of Champagne. The urban structure is organised to accommodate the great number of wholesalers: the wide streets for the transfer of goods and for the stalls, the three level merchant’s houses with sumptuous vaulted low rooms... The impressive fortified wall was built during the 13th century and extended for 5 km (today 1,2 km), and it offers a catalogue of military architecture. Those ramparts showed off the power of the Earls of Champagne. Provins is a real showcase of medieval architecture (military, religious and civil) and it is one of the few towns in France that can boast of over fifty listed Monuments with historical value. Thus, Provins was inscribed on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List on December 2001.
Visited as a day trip from Paris and really enjoyed the town and its well-preserved medieval locations. Everything is very walkable from the train station.

15 ans ont été nécessaires pour restaurer ce site historique millénaire. Jardin, cloître et chapelles se découvrent en visite guidée ou audio-guidée. Un résultat subjuguant, avec de magnifiques fresques et enduits peints révélés au niveau de la croisée du transept et sur les murs. Démolition, incendie, reconstruction, le Prieuré a connu plusieurs vies et une histoire digne des plus grands romans !
