what is the purpose of this web-site?
This web-log site is an English language sign-post to the current developments in this unique IDEAL CITY built originally for
Armand-Jean du Plessis, cardinal duc de Richelieu,
to designs of Jacques Lemercier and his brothers between the years 1631 and 1642 : to British readers in the rule of Charles I, and just before the English Civil War: to North Americans at the time of the French colonial initiatives in 'Acadie' (Nova Scotia) and of the English in Virginia.
The pretty walled and moated seventeenth century town of RICHELIEU remains today the most complete French urban design project of the age of King Louis XIII and the stories of Alexandre Dumas' THE THREE MUSKETEERS.
