A perfect star, an octagon born from the imagination of a man who spent his life building fortresses. Neuf-Brisach is a fortified town, surrounded by walls, ditches and ramparts. They have not moved since 1703 when Louis XIV and Vauban decided to build this stronghold, just opposite the powerful German neighbor. Living in a citadel is undoubtedly very special. Time seems to have stopped. As in the past, through the Porte de Belfort, you arrive directly in the moats. The 300-year-old walls seem to offer no hold on time. What remains is this war damage which is, to say the least, original. Vauban would have smiled, it’s just a scratch. Although the soldiers have not been there for a long time, there are still thousands of square meters to exploit. Walls now rhyme with painting, or how Vauban meets street art and goofballs. Since 2018, the museum of urban art and street art, Mausa, has taken over the premises. After the cannon fire, love at first sight. TF1 | Report J. Rieg-Boivin, L. Claudepierre, F. Torelli
