The Porte Dijeaux gate is a gateway to the city of Bordeaux. It is located at the western end of the decumanus formed by the alignment of rue Porte Dijaux and rue Saint-Rémi. It leads to Place Gambetta at the end of Rue Bouffard. On the other side it is at the intersection of the street that bears its name and the rue des Remparts. It can also be reached from the Cours de l’Intendance by taking rue Bouffard. It is also visible to walkers coming from rue Sainte Catherine from the corner of the Galerie Bordelaise. Rue Porte Dijeaux is an important shopping street in Bordeaux. In terms of attendance, it comes second behind rue Sainte Catherine. It is also a pedestrian street.
The Porte Dijeaux is also known as Porte Dauphine under king Louis XIV. The origin of the name would be related to the temple of Jupiter which stood at this location in Gallo-Roman times. It was an entrance to the west of the city of Bordeaux from Roman times and the first line of fortification. Outside, a half-moon merlon, 8 to 10 meters high, served as a redoubt. On the other side the triangle is occupied by the Royal symbols, crown and fleur-de-lis, but also two wings, a helmet and a fish. Under the triangle an animal head overhangs the number 1748 which corresponds to the date of its construction. This last gate was replaced by the current monument, built between 1748 and 1753, and it remains today isolated and deprived of its pedestrian lateral counters.
