Nestled in the Indre-et-Loire region of the Loire Valley, Loches is a medieval gem that has preserved its rich history for centuries. The Porte des Halles, a grand architectural masterpiece, stands as a testament to the town's storied past. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the intricate details of the gate's intricately carved stonework and the bustling activity of the marketplace beyond. The gate, with its two large arches and ornate decorations, served as the primary entrance to the town and was the site of lively markets and bustling commerce.
