Porte Guillaume

The Guillaume Door is a Triumphal arch of the XVIIIe century, at the West entry of the city. Its name points out the memory of Guillaume de Volpiano, reformer of the "Saint Benigne" abbey in XIe century. To the origin, the Guillaume door was inserted in the ramparts(wall)of the city, built after the large fire which destroyed Dijon in 1137.
