Be a tourist in Belfort

First, you can visit the great Lion of Belfort. It’s a symbol of resistance and strength. It was built on 1880 by Bartholdi. There is a museum with masterpieces as paints and sculptures, and many other war objects from the 19th century.

Then, there is a museum with pieces by Picasso, Chagall Masson. There is a lot of contemporary art.

After theses two visits, you could just have a walk in the old town. There is a pretty square with cafés. It feels good to just sit down and enjoy the sun,if it’s here that day.

If you want to enjoy nature, take a bus and go to Malsaucy. It’s a very cute place when there is a beach, green spaces, some forest, the possibility to go kayaking or canoeing and of course, children games.

If we’re on July, do not forget about the Malsaucy because it’s where takes place the festival of the Eurockéennes. It starts on the 4th and ends on the 7th. It’s a great music festival with a very nice atmosphere, and summer vibes. Even if at the beginning, it was a rock festival, nowadays you will see artists from all over the world and in every genres. They can be famous artists or indie bands.

After all the places you’ll have seen, I’m sure you’ll have a positive opinion on Belfort. Just remember that it’s an active city where lots of activities are organized through the year. On springs, there is a funfair for example. On winter at the winter wonderland, a skating ring is set up and there are small huts where people sell waffles, crêpes, clothes or many other things.

I hope you’ll enjoy our city, have a good time in Belfort!
