...Une coupe faite suivant l'axe du passage de la porte de Villeneuve-lez-Avignon (fig. 26), complétera l'intelligence de ce bel ouvrage d'un aspect vraiment imposant. Cette coupe B indique la coulisse de la première herse en C, les premiers vantaux en f, la coulisse de la seconde herse en D et les seconds vantaux en e. On observera que, conformément à l'usage admis, autant que la configuration du terrain le permettait, le sol du passage s'élève de l'extérieur à l'intérieur..
