  • 2. Les Fortifications de Vauban Maubeuge
    Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, Seigneur de Vauban and later Marquis de Vauban , commonly referred to as Vauban , was a French military engineer who rose in the service to the king and was commissioned as a Marshal of France. Considered the foremost engineer of his time, Vauban is known for his skills both in designing fortifications and breaking through them; his concepts, inspired by Pagan's Les Fortifications, were the dominant model of fortification and siegecraft for nearly 100 years. He also advised Louis XIV on how to consolidate France's borders in order to make them more defensible. Vauban made the radical suggestion of France giving up some land that was indefensible in order to create a stronger, less porous border with its neighbours.
