Origin and history

The Poterne de l'Abreuvoir is an ancient defensive structure located in Moret-Loeng-et-Orvanne, Seine-et-Marne (Île-de-France). It is located on the left bank of the Loing, in the historic heart of the delegated municipality of Moret-sur-Loing. Its precise location is mentioned as being close to Rue de l'Abreuvoir or Rue du Pont, depending on the sources. This poterno is part of the remains of the medieval ramparts of the city, although its exact period of construction is not specified in the available documents.

The caneron was listed as historic monuments by ministerial decree on 28 April 1926. It belongs to the municipality and is an architectural testimony of the old urban defence systems. Its heritage status reflects its local historic significance, although details of its original structure or use are not detailed in the sources consulted. It is associated with the ramparts of Moret-sur-Loing, themselves linked to the medieval history of the city.

No information is available on specific historical characters related to its construction or use. The sources mention only its ranking and location, without details of major events or transformations. The poterne is part of a larger architectural complex, including the Moret Bridge, another notable heritage element of the commune.
