3 …a rampart was built around Paris, which was Europe’s biggest city at the time. To protect the capital from the Anglo-Norman threat, the king decided to reinforce its defenses with a fortress, which came to be known as the Louvre. www.louvre.fr Philippe Auguste’s Fortress… comprising a moated quadrilateral with round bastions at each corner, and at the center of the north and west walls.

4 Paris spread far beyond Philippe Auguste’s original wall…further defenses were needed for the French capital. Etienne Marcel, provost of the merchants of Paris, instigated the construction of an earth rampart (1356–58), which was continued and developed under Charles V. Enclosed within the expanding city, the Louvre lost its defensive function. www.louvre.fr

5 Henri II's widow Catherine de Médicis ordered the building of a new residence a short distance to the west. Plans for the Tuileries palace were drawn up by Philibert Delorme in 1564. The extended wall was complet by 1636
