Description
Built from 1699 to 1703, the fortress town of Neuf-Brisach is one of Vauban’s masterpieces. As such, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Built according to a perfect plan with eight sides, crossed by parallel streets that intersect at right angles organized around a central parade ground, the citadel is perfectly geometric. Its pink sandstone ramparts, intact despite the successive wars they have suffered throughout history, retain all their presence, and the majestic gates of the city have kept their pride.

Let yourself be guided in the footsteps of Vauban, a great military man, architect and urbanist, but also a humanist and a thinker ahead of his time!
