Informations :
Department of Architecture and Cultural Inheritance
The Musée des plans-reliefs houses and exhibits a unique world collection: historical models to a scale of 1/600th of French fortified places and towns of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Those models were mostly used for military strategy and also contributed to the prestige of heads of state. Today they are an essential documentary resource about the places they represent and constitute a precious educational aid. These models give visitors an aerial view of the cities, their buildings, their fortifications and their landscapes.
