Tips from the Community
I liked this pleasant lake, its welcoming terrace. We wanted to return, from the woods, but had to turn back (Spring 2026). Access is now blocked by palisades with warning signs and monitored by cameras. The marked trails of the Club Vosgien have been rerouted. As a result, the desire to go to the bar was forgotten!

The Church of St. Christopher was designed by the engineer Philippe Mareschal and built from 1727 to replace the Saint-Denis Collegiate Church. It opened for worship in 1750. Its façade, in the classical style with superimposed Doric and Ionic colonnades, is decorated with a triangular pediment bearing the king's coat of arms and religious motifs. This ornamentation was partially altered after the siege of 1870-1871. The towers were built between 1784 and 1788 (north tower) and in 1845 (south tower). The large organ is the work of the postman J.-C. Valtrin and has been restored and modified several times, notably in 1971 by François and Joseph Calinet and Kurt Schwenkedel. It was declared a historic monument by decree of 28 January 1930, erected as a basilica in 1952, and became a cathedral in 1979 following the creation of the Diocese of Belfort-Montbéliard.

This house, including courtyard and garden, is decorated all over with watering cans. It contains a small boutique and is located on a pretty cycle route in Rougemont-le-Chateau

The name of Saint-CHRISTOPHE, to whom this cathedral (bishop's church) in Belfort is dedicated, means "Christ-bearer". According to the legend of the saint, he was a gigantic man and carried people across a river. One day a small child called to him and he carried it on his shoulders to the other bank. Amazingly, the child became heavier and he said he felt as if the weight of the whole world was on his shoulders. Then the child revealed himself to him as Jesus Christ, Savior and Redeemer of the world.

The fortress of Belfort is very impressive and worth seeing. A particular eye-catcher is the mighty lion at the foot of the fortress.
