One of Vauban's designs for the town of Toul consisted of demolishing the already existing fortifications and enlarging the surface of the town by inserting all the nearby suburbs within a single bastioned enclosure. This project was chosen by the king and work began on May 12, 1700, but, contrary to Vauban's wishes, inside the city and not outside. The work progressed only slowly, the city having lost all interest after the signing of the peace treaties. The ramparts and parapet were completed in 1722. In the first half of the 1740s, the canal locks were completed and the only complete peninsula was completed. But the work stopped there and the project was not completed.

An aerial view allows you to clearly see the contours of the fortifications, and you can also easily walk around them.

The fortification of Toul goes back to a plan by Vauban from 1697. However, the fortification was never completed.
