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.

Sébastien Le Prestre, Marquês de Vauban (1633 - 1707), também conhecido por Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, foi um arquitecto militar francês, introdutor do chamado estilo Vauban de fortificação. Diz-se que deu à França uma impenetrável cintura de aço. Foi nomeado Marechal de França por Luís XIV. Este modelo de papel nos dá uma idéia de como era este engenhoso invento.
