Le Puit Des Forçats Potable Water Recovery System Paper Model - by Vauban.Org

The Real Thing - Mont Louis Museum - France

Le Puit des Forçats was a recovery system of potable water dating from the seventeenth century, created by French architect and engineer Vauban. Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, Seigneur de Vauban and later Marquis de Vauban (15 May 1633 – 30 March 1707), commonly referred to as Vauban, was a Marshal of France and the foremost military engineer of his age, famed for his skill in both designing fortifications and breaking through them. He also advised Louis XIV on how to consolidate France's borders, to make them more defensible. Vauban made a radical suggestion of giving up some land that was indefensible to allow for a stronger, less porous border with France's neighbours. This paper model gives us an idea of how it was this ingenious invention.
