Listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2008, this small town is home to some incredible historical treasures. Between 1698 and 1703, Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, a leading specialist in poliorcetics (the technique of laying siege to cities), supervised the construction of Neuf-Brisach. The aim was to fortify the French side of the river after France had returned the city of Breisach to Austria. In 1870, and again in 1945, the town was almost entirely destroyed, except for... Vauban's work, which stood up valiantly to the bombs! The ramparts can be visited on foot: this 2.4-kilometre walk links the Porte de Colmar to the Porte de Belfort.
