[edit] Systems

More information on his systems would be needed. --84.20.17.84 10:10, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and in my Copious Free Time I might try to assist.
— However I'd suggest that a separate article might be advisable here, perhaps "Fortification systems of Vauban"? They'd be a detailed description for military architecture buffs, not biographers.--Andy Dingley 14:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vaubans remains were scattered after the Revolution.

I've never posted to this site, so consider this an exploratory statement as:I can't be sure that I have not missed something.

I recently visited the home of Vauban, at Bazoches,in Burgundy. Nearby is the "Eglise Saint Hilaire," which contains the tomb of Vauban. This would seem to contradict the statement that his remains were scattered after the revolution! In fact, at his tomb, is a very clear explanation of how his remains were brought there, and also how his heart ended up in Paris. I have notes, as well as photographs, detailing all this and will dig into them in the coming weeks. This post is intended to clarify that I am not missing some plainly obvious point, before I spend the time to do further research.

Thanks
