Maison Vauban, Military architect museum in Saint-Léger-Vauban, France
The museum occupies a restored 17th-century stone building displaying documents, models, and artifacts related to Vauban's military engineering achievements.
Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, born in 1633, served as Louis XIV's chief military engineer and designed numerous fortifications across France.
The museum exhibits scale models of fortified cities, technical drawings, and manuscripts that demonstrate French military architecture from the 17th century.

The collection includes original engineering tools and measurement instruments used during the construction of France's border fortifications.
