Large stone statue, 22 metres long and 11 metres high, symbolizing the strength and resistance of the city of Belfort.
With its 22 m long and 11 m high, it is the largest stone statue in France. The Belfort lion is the symbol of the city, a symbol of strength and resistance and from which Belfort gets its nickname of Lion City. Made in a dominant position by Bartholdi, between 1875 and 1880, as a reminder that the Belfortins were the only French people, along with the inhabitants of Bitche in Moselle, to contain Prussian power. The Lion is located at the foot of the castle in a Vauban fortification complex. In the Lion's shop, souvenirs in the effigy of the lion!

A remarquer sa patte puissante qui écrase la flèche allemande.
Vaut à lui seul de venir jusqu'à Belfort. Il est encore plus beau vu du parking de l'arsenal. un des plus grands d'œuvre de Bartholdi que j'ai plaisir à admirer tous les jours
La ville et le fort sont agréable à visiter, que cela soit à pieds ou en petit train. on recommande un passage par là.
