City walls of Toul, Military ramparts in Toul, France.

The fortifications of Toul consist of nine bastions and seven ravelins, surrounded by dry moats and a glacis along the Moselle River.

The first walls, built in 375, were replaced by medieval fortifications before Vauban's complete reconstruction beginning in 1698.

The defense system demonstrates the evolution of French military engineering, incorporating innovations from both Vauban and Séré de Rivières.

The current ramparts offer a complete walking circuit around the city, with two gates widened to accommodate modern vehicle traffic.

The fortress of Toul extends over 45 kilometers and includes three forts open to visitors: Villey-Le-Sec, Vieux Canton, and Pelissier.
