You can still easily imagine the complete route thanks to the &#8220;All\u00e9es d&#8217;Aligre&#8221;, a very pleasant and <strong>favourite walking boulevard<\/strong> for the Provinois, which you can also take during your visit (see the full map of the town in the brochure &#8220;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.provins.net\/en\/download-our-brochures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visitor&#8217;s Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/span>&#8221;

and the &#8220;All\u00e9e des L\u00e9preux&#8221;.<br \/>\nDo not miss to admire the very beautiful perspective at the level of the <strong>Engine Tower<\/strong> (big tower at the corner).<br \/>\nSo named because it is said that the metal parts used to make siege engines were stored nearby.<\/p>\n<p>You can go down into the <strong>moat <\/strong>to discover them below, thanks to the stairs.<\/p>\n<p>You can also gain height by climbing the ramparts, still at the level of the 2 gates, but on the inside!<br \/>\nA great way to admire the surrounding countryside.<br \/>\nOn the Porte de Jouy, on the city side, you will have a beautiful view of the roofs of Provins!<\/p>\n<p>All along your walk, you can have fun naming the different <strong>shapes of the towers<\/strong>: round, rectangular, almond-shaped, octagonal, hexagonal, trapezoidal, etc.<br \/>\nThe builders were able to take advantage of the city&#8217;s wealth to demonstrate their know-how, building all the geometric styles.<\/p>\n<p>The restoration began in the 1970s and was completed in September 2022.<br \/>\nThe companies and craftsmen working on this site were all approved the <strong>Monuments Historiques<\/strong>: masons, stone-cutters, carpenters, roofers, electricians, etc.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221;
