Forgotten Vauban this year, be sure to remember next year
Oops, we nearly forgot the anniversary of the day of death of marshal Vauban, last Thursday. That's no problem, as long as we remember there's nearly a year left till next years anniversary. March 30, 2007, will be the start of the Vauban Year, to commemorate his 300th day of death. Last thursday, the Vauban community announced the nationwide program.
Vauban was not only a brave soldier, but also the military architect of sun king Louis XIV. everywhere in the country he builded citadels. The French knew: a city defended by Vauban is a safe city; a city attacked by Vauban is lost.
Apart from that, Vauban had great knowledge of nature. For that reason, the visitors center in the Morvan National park carries his name. In lost moments, Vauban also wrote philosophical books.
The Vauban year will be celibrated in many places. Two of them will certainly be special: the museum of military history in the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris and Vaubans castle, the chateau de Bazoches in the Burgundy area.

Niet voor het blog, dat is (afkloppen) nog niet misbruikt. Maar dat gebruikt dan ook unieke software. Het forum is een veel gebruikt script, dat zonder maatregelen helaas te eenvoudig te misbruiken is door spammers.
