2000 YEARS OF FRENCH FORTIFICATION

From the 4th century BC to the Atlantic Wall

Oppida, castles, fortified churches, and urban ramparts dot the French landscape, while forts and Maginot works near the borders evoke former barriers.

Why this omnipresent fortification? Historians, architects, and urban planners seek, for various reasons, an answer.

They will find it in this book with the guarantee of a doctoral thesis. This book includes the complete text of the second edition published in 1989 in two volumes.

A major work on French fortifications. 684 pages, 236 sketches, index of strongholds and bibliographies. 2008 reprint of the second edition of Pierre Rocolle's work, originally published in 1989.
