in Belfort
Belfort, the city
As the capital of the Territory that bears its name, Belfort is rich in history since the city is located at a strategic point commonly known as "The Belfort Gap." At the confluence of the Rhine River (50 km to the east) and the Rhône River (150 km to the south), Belfort is the only plain connecting these different valleys and is sandwiched between the Vosges and the Jura mountains.
Belfort has developed over the course of Europe's history and various wars.
