Territoire de Belfort
The smallest department in France outside Paris, the Territoire de Belfort is the only part of the area that France managed to keep a constant grip on while the rest of the Alsatian region was annexed by Germany. Its position offers excellent opportunities to explore both countries, with canal trips up to the Black Forest and and the Route des Vins, which takes visitors into the neighbouring hills of Alsace. The area also borders the stunning mountain landscapes of the Parc Naturel Régional des Ballons des Vosges.
CAPITAL: BELFORT - The department is naturally dominated by the historic town of Belfort, with its colourful architecture and ancient ramparts, built by the 17th-century military engineer Vauban. Nicknamed the ‘city of the lion', Belfort is fiercely proud of its strong history and there are numerous statues, fortified buildings and monuments historiques that explain its history. More than a third of the department's inhabitants live in the city and its suburbs.
