Le château de Nègrepelisse. [...] Le deuxième type d’opérations consiste à restaurer les arcades situées sur la façade Nord du château. [...] pour que les arcades ne s’écroulent pas, il a fallu couper les arbres dont le poids aurait fait s’effondrer les arcades. Le mur à arcades a connu trois étapes de construction. La première phase est marquée par l'édification d’un long mur à quatre voûtes. Sa datation est estimée fin XVII ème grâce à un dessin de Fragonard. [...] D'autre part, il s’agit de créer des percées visuelles entre l'esplanade et l'espace au pied du mur. Ce lieu composé des murs d’arcades, du moulin et l'extrémité de la courtine deviendra un espace pour les représentations scéniques. 3, record 2, French, - mur%20%C3%A0%20arcades
