Isle de Re - Vauban - Spring Trip 2013

La Porte Thoiras, Saint-Martin de Ré

Fort de la Prée, built in the mid-1620's

A simple guide to Vauban's works.

I bought this book, "Vauban, Génie Maritime" with text and watercolours by Arnaud D'Aunay, in the giftshop at Gravelines Fortress. The above landscapes and the guide are copied from the book, my thanks to the author for such a fine work. The forts are the main focus of my planned visit in May.
