The Vauban Fortifications in Saint-Martin-de-Ré are a historic site on the island of Ré in France. They were designed by the military engineer Vauban in the 17th century to bolster the defense of the island and the port of La Rochelle. These fortifications include walls, bastions, moats, and gates. In 2008, they were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List for their historical and architectural significance. Today, they are a major tourist attraction, providing insight into the military history and engineering of Vauban's era.
