この時代の要塞は、17世紀に軍事技術者ヴォーバンが開発した大きな星形要塞よりも、単純な多角形の形状をしていました。砲兵技術の進歩により、都市は長距離砲撃に対して非常に脆弱になっていました。その解決策は、防御すべき都市の周りに輪状に一連の小さな要塞を築くことでした。

This is the cathedral of Langres.

Great spot with a kiosk.

Beautiful running route along the historic fortress wall.

This powder magazine was built starting in 1842, at the same time as the Langres Citadel. Buried beneath an embankment, it features a 7-meter-high storage chamber containing the barrels of black powder, as well as a surrounding ventilation gallery. Between the two are vents and lighting niches (torches were placed here, separated from the chamber by a glass pane to prevent the powder from igniting). Unfortunately, the building is only open to visitors very occasionally (during Heritage Days, for example).

A slightly technical passage (slopes, some stones, some bends) in the woods south of Thivet.

This gate owes its name to the old mills located outside the fortifications to harness the wind (the "Bel'air," which gave the square its name). It is part of the bastion fortifications built south of the city walls between 1642 and 1647.

Imposing cathedral of a small town steeped in history! Worth seeing from the outside and inside
