Being a Cartographer, I would be extremely interested in seeing these maps.

When I was in Paris in 2008 I saw the relief maps in Les Invalides, depicting the fortifications around France mainly designed by Vauban the master designer of star forts.

Are these the same one? http://plans-reliefs.monuments-nationaux.fr/en/
