Neuf-Brisach is 18km south-east of Colmar in the Haut-Rhin department of the Alsace region, and on the bank of the Rhine River.

The town was designed by the renowned war engineer Vauban, under Louis XIV, in order to defend the border from Hapsburg, and built starting in 1699.

The town follows an octagonal layout, with its borders heavily fortified - as seen in the photo below, the town has further fortifications beyond the main defensive wall.

It is this unusual, carefully planned, design that is of foremost interest in the town - it is unusual to see a town so completely planned unless we look back to the 13th century bastide towns of south-west France. Consequently Neuf-Brisach is a magnet for historians and engineers as much as tourists.

(Note: the neighbouring town, across the border in Germany, is called Alt-Breisach.)
