The “Porte aux prêtres” (13th-15th century), located on the banks of the Seine, is the last remaining gate of the former city walls of Mantes-la-Jolie. The name is said to commemorate a priest who is said to have sneaked into the town during the Hundred Years' War to help the French recapture it from the English. A half-timbered house was later built on top of the gate.
