A massive fortification project
0
0
The fortification of Briançon was the largest project of defensive reinforcement in France in the first half of the 18th century. It developed in steps following the increase in the artillery's range and the improvement of its movement possibilities. The fortification of the Hautes-Alpes town continued to the complete occupation of its peripheral outer ridges.
