A banquette ({{IPA|fr|bɑ̃kɛt}}), rampart walk or parapet walk is a small footpath or elevated step along the inside of a rampart or parapet of a fortification. Musketeers atop it were able to view the counterscarp, or fire on enemies in the moat. Typical they are around foot and a half (half a metre) high, and almost three feet (approximately 90 cm) wide.{{cn|date=November 2017}}
