The city was built at the beginning of the 18th century by the fortress builder Prestre de Vauban together with his genius director Jacques Tarade, who laid it out as a planned city in the shape of an octagon with a central parade ground, which is now used as a market square, and a chessboard-shaped street network as the ideal form of a fortress city . The city had accommodation for the soldiers and officers, supply facilities, a church, houses for non-military residents of the various classes and an impressive complex of walls, ditches and gates around the city.

The city is organized in a grid of 48 blocks. The Place d'Armes, located in the center, served as a training and parade ground for the military.

The most important military buildings still stand today. The fountain served as a water reservoir in case of fire and as a watering hole for the horses. The four fountains at the four corners of the square supplied the residents with drinking water.

The fortress, the small village, is impressive.
