In place of an old gate in the 12th-century city wall, the architect Jean-Philippe Maret had this monument built between 1786 and 1788 in homage to the Prince of Condé, governor of Burgundy. The building was then named Porte Condé. The monument was connected by walls to the ramparts that still existed, and its gate was closed by a gate, traces of which can still be seen. During the Revolution in 1791, the gate was named the Arc de la Liberté; in the 19th century, it became Porte Guillaume, in reference to Guillaume de Volpiano, abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Bénigne.

The city center, with its authentic, medieval flair, has often been the backdrop for films such as Cyrano de Bergerac

Gate of the old city located on a Place Darcy renovated thanks to the arrival of the Tramway. Emblematic cinema 'Le Darcy' as well as the prestigious hotel la Cloche and other buildings in the Haussmann style.

The name Porte Guillaume is a tribute to Guillaume de Volpiano, abbot of the Abbey of Saint Bénigne, who participated in the construction of the abbey in the 11th century, which was later converted into a cathedral and is located not far away.
