Châteaux et forteresses de France. La fortification des origines à nos jours.

This book of 192 pages is very comprehensive with lots of illustrations, and offers the reader a journey of discovery throughout France and different eras to explore the wealth of architecture and military heritage that has been preserved. As Alain Monferrand, president of the Association Vauban, states, it is an “excellent introduction to fortification as well as an invaluable guide”.
