Vauban, the soldier who shaped France

In light of the tercentary of the death of Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban, Louis the Fourteenth’s favorite architect and of the addition of twelve of his works to the UNESCO’s world heritage list, altomedia presents a documentary portraying this military engineer. Founded on parts of his correspondence with the King and his court, the film sets out to meet the creator of the citadels and fortifications of Lille, Strasbourg, Perpignan, Luxembourg, Kehl, and Maastricht.
