    A functional architectural element, the door also carries a strong symbolism, oscillating between protection and passage. Whether protecting the home in the private sphere or protecting a city when it is fortified, the door is also a symbolic passageway. In the case of a triumphal arch, it is a passage from one state to another, with the warrior passing under the arch abandoning his warrior impulses to return to civilian life. The passage from the profane to the sacred in the case of a temple or church. In architecture, doors are the object of particular attention, announcing the function of a building and the social status of an individual. The Office de Tourisme et des Congrès du Grand Besançon (Greater Besançon Tourist and Convention Bureau) is offering a tour of the city to discover the richness and diversity of the gates of Besançon.
