 THE CASTLE PRESENTATION
Only some remnants of Raoul Hurault’s old fortified castle possibly remain today. To say possibly may be surprising. This is a mystery in Cheverny as it cannot be proven whether part of the outbuildings are vestiges of the old castle. The old castle was captured in a drawing by a travelling artist but there are no reliable landmarks in the drawing. This is why the present castle could well have been built on the exact spot as the old castle, which would have been completely demolished.

THE HISTORY OF FRANCE AND THE LOCAL HISTORY …
Provins seems to have existed since the beginning of the modern age. But we find no written confirmation of the town's importance until the year 802 when Charlemagne sent Etienne, Count of Paris, and Fardufle, abbot of Saint-Denis to Provins as his " missi dominici " that. This period coincides with the earliest military architecture in Provins.

The Monument
In the 6th century B.C., the Roman Senate decided to have this trophy raised in the honour of Caesar’s nephew, Octavius Augustus, who had just overthrown the remaining Ligurian tribes. The trophy symbolised the power and unity of the Roman Empire, and stood at the key point of Alpis Summa on the border between the Gaul and Italy. The trophy originally was 49 meters high and supported a giant statue of the Emperor. It was restored par Jules Formigé in the 20th century.

The Monument
In 1692, the region was again invaded by the troops of Victor-Amédée II, Duke of Savoy. Vauban undertook the construction of a fortress that would resist the enemy’s advances and ensure the protection of the population. A large rock dominating the valleys of the Guil and the Durance rivers seemed the ideal site as it was both inaccessible and inhospitable. In 1693, work began on a new city and new fortifications. Construction and consolidation continued for almost a century.
