THE CITADELLA
A surprising and majestic 11-hectare site to discover on a tour with a special audio-guide for younger visitors.
Dominating the town, this citadel was designed by Vauban. The view from the top is breathtaking. The citadel invites visitors to relive the history for which it is famous, particularly that of the Resistance. For younger visitors, a quiz version livens up the walk. The citadel's large underground passage features a sound and light show. You'll also discover the famous Lion, symbolizing the courage of the men of the 1870 war. A history museum, housed in the former barracks, allows you to continue your journey..

L'espace y est toutefois plus condensé. On contemple d'un regard toute la ville et sa vallée jusqu'à l'Alsace voisine.
Profitez si possible d'une visite guidée pour comprendre la grande et petite histoire militaire de Belfort.
Le site mériterait à mon avis largement son inscription au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Pour bientôt j'espère !
