The Territoire de Belfort is a department within the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. Just a stone’s throw from the Vosges and Haut-Rhin departments—as well as Switzerland—the Territoire de Belfort is nicknamed the “Territoire du Lion” (Land of the Lion). An imposing stone statue of the king of the big cats stands at the foot of the Belfort Citadel. This famous monument is not only a landmark but also a must-see when visiting Belfort. In fact, the Lion of Belfort statue was voted the French people’s favorite monument in 2020. Nestled between the Vosges and Jura mountains, the Territoire de Belfort features lush, rolling green landscapes.
Among Belfort’s must-see attractions, the citadel is undoubtedly the one you won’t want to miss. This 17th-century monument watches over Belfort. Its ramparts, designed by Vauban, make the citadel an impregnable historic fortress. And to make your visit even more engaging, enjoy a unique augmented reality experience. The citadel’s cultural outreach teams have developed an interactive multimedia guide for visitors. This allows you to explore the site while watching videos, interviews, and reenactments. In the summer, festivals, concerts, shows, and night markets are held!

Étang du Malsaucy is the largest body of water in the Territoire de Belfort. On its shores, you can sunbathe in the summer (at a designated, supervised beach), go birdwatching (in the bird sanctuary), and also enjoy sailing, kayaking, and many other sports. The development of the Véronne Pond allows you to walk or run around it in an exceptional natural setting. The area is especially well-known for hosting the Eurockéennes festival every year.
