But the most famous French fortifications designer is Sébastien le Prestre, marquis de Vauban (1633-1707). vauban has designed the fortifications of Ath, Besancon, Huningue, Luxembourg, Blaye, Neuf-Brisach (hist best work say some), Perpignan, etceteraRaulDuke I'm looking for the name of the (French?) designer of many (as said) concentric star (pentagram, hexagram, etc) type fortifications built to be resilient to trenches and artillery. I think he was around in the 1600s(+). Anyone have any idea? ipflo The most famous fortifications designer around 1600's is Jean Errard (1554-1610), he is be considered as the founder of the French school of "fortification art and technics" An other known French designer is Emile de Pagan, comte de Merveilles. RaulDuke Ah yes, I was looking for Vauban. Thanks for the informative reply.
