Vauban Fortress

Statue of "The Great France" was placed at the top of the fort in the French Alps in 1933. It was intended to commemorate the intervention of the US Army in the First World War and to salute world peace. The fort is now in ruins but offers dramatic views of the town below and the French Alps. #History
