Welcome to the Territoire de Belfort, the smallest department in mainland France and a crossroads between the Vosges, Jura, and Alsace, in the heart of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. From Belfort (Lion of Bartholdi — symbol of French resistance, Vauban citadel, colorful old town, Eurockéennes music festival) to the Ballon d'Alsace (1,247 m, panorama of the Alps, Jura, and Black Forest, Nature Reserve), passing through the étang des Forges (body of water in the heart of Belfort, walks, nature), Giromagny (Fort Dorsner, Mining Museum, gateway to the Southern Vosges) and Delle (gateway to Switzerland, baroque church), the Territoire de Belfort combines military history, mountain nature, and a Franche-Comté character. Treat yourselves to a romantic weekend in a love room with a private jacuzzi in France's most compact department. Neighboring departments: Haut-Rhin (68), Doubs (25), Haute-Saône (70) and Vosges (88).

Prefecture of the Territoire de Belfort, Belfort is dominated by the Lion of Bartholdi (monumental sculpture 22 m long and 11 m high, carved from pink Vosges sandstone by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi — creator of the Statue of Liberty — to commemorate Belfort's heroic resistance during the siege of 1870-1871). The Vauban citadel (fortifications modified by Vauban, bastioned towers, moats, history museum) overlooks the city and offers a panorama of the rooftops, the Jura, and the Vosges. The old town (colorful facades, Place d'Armes, Saint-Christophe Cathedral — Callinet organ, covered market) and the Eurockéennes (major rock festival every July — Malsaucy peninsula, one of France's largest festivals) complete a city of character. Treat yourselves to a room with a private jacuzzi in Belfort with a view of the illuminated Lion.
A small mountain town at the foot of the Ballon d'Alsace, Giromagny seduces with Fort Dorsner (19th-century fortification, panorama), the Mining Museum (history of mining — copper, silver, lead — in the Southern Vosges, galleries, tools), the pink sandstone houses, and the Vosges forest (hiking trails, Rummel waterfalls). Gateway to the Ballon d'Alsace and the Ballons des Vosges Regional Natural Park.
Delle (border town with Switzerland, baroque Saint-Léger church, TGV station — serves Belfort from the LGV Rhin-Rhône), Beaucourt (birthplace of Japy watchmaking — industrial dynasty, Japy museum, 19th-century industrial heritage) and Grandvillars (forges, church) make up the south of the Territory, facing Switzerland and the Alsatian Sundgau.
The Lion of Belfort is one of France's most iconic monuments: sculpted by Bartholdi between 1875 and 1880 from pink Vosges sandstone, it symbolizes the city's resistance during the siege of 1870-1871 (the only French city not to have capitulated, which allowed it to remain French). The citadel (medieval fortifications modified by Vauban and then by General Haxo in the 19th century) offers a walk on the ramparts with views of the Lion, the city, and the mountains. A place rich in history and pride.
The Ballon d'Alsace (1,247 m, meeting point of three regions — Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Grand Est, formerly Alsace) offers an exceptional panorama: Swiss Alps (on a clear day), Jura, Black Forest, Alsace plain. Classified as a Nature Reserve, the summit is accessible by road (mythical Tour de France pass) and by numerous hiking trails (high pastures, mountain farms, fir forests). Skiing in winter, hiking and mountain biking in summer.
The étang des Forges (in the heart of Belfort, 15 ha, walks, jogging, bird watching) and the étang du Malsaucy (Maison de l'Environnement, leisure center, beach, peninsula — site of the Eurockéennes) offer spaces for nature and relaxation a few minutes from the city center. An unexpected green setting for an urban department.
The Territoire de Belfort has an exceptional military heritage: the fortified belt (forts de la Miotte, du Salbert, de Bessoncourt, de Vézelois — built after 1870 to defend the Trouée de Belfort, the only natural passage between the Vosges and Jura), the fort du Salbert (panorama of the city from the wooded hill) and the Séré de Rivières works. A unique heritage that tells the story of France's borders.
