Longwy holiday rental: a journey to the heart of Vauban's history
Immerse yourself in the history of Longwy, a town that embodies the vision of the ideal city according to Vauban, Louis XIV's famous military engineer. Situated on the border of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Belgium, Longwy is a must-see destination for history and architecture enthusiasts.
Longwy: an ideal town designed by Vauban
Vauban fortifications: an ingenious defensive system
Discover Vauban's fortifications on a guided tour. These ramparts, built with military precision, bear witness to the art of defence perfected by Vauban. The Porte de France, with its defensive half-moon, is one of the town's main entrances. It leads to the Place d'Armes, where military parades were once held. Nearby, the church of Saint-Dagobert and the military bakery are reminders of daily life in this stronghold.
One of the highlights of the visit is undoubtedly the cross-shaped underground passage, a masterpiece that provided strategic shelter in the event of a siege.
