City gates of Paris

While Paris is encircled by the Boulevard Périphérique (Paris ring road), the city gates of Paris ("portes de Paris") are the access points to the city for pedestrians and other road users. As Paris has had successive ring roads through the centuries, city gates are found inside the modern-day Paris.

Ancient gates of Paris edit

 
Porte Saint-Denis, one of the ancient gates of Paris' walls.

After the construction of the Wall of the Farmers-General in 1785, the gates of Paris bore the names barriers (barrières) until 1860 (e.g. barrière de la Villette, barrière du Trône, barrière d'Italie, etc.) They were, in fact, toll gates used for collection of the octroi, an excise tax assessed on goods entering the city.
