BEAUCOURT
Parc des Cèdres (Cedar Park) owes its name to its many cedar trees, which have
been planted by Georges Cuvier, friend of the Japy family. Other trees of over one
hundred years old adorn the park. Beautiful buildings can be found along the alleys:
the last castle, an orangery, stables and a hunting lodge.
The Fonteneilles neighborhood: a specific manufacturing site, the place where the
famous Japy typewriters were produced. It has an iconic building called
“Horseshoe”, referring to its U-shape.
SAINT-DIZIER-L’EVEQUE
The church (Historical Monuments since 1926) is home to the cenotaph of
Saint-Dizier, also called Pierre des Fous (Stone of the Insance), because people with
various mental illnesses would visit it. The vine was planted in 1995 with
Chardonnay, Pinot Auxerrois and Pinot Gris stems. At the hamlet of Val de Saint-Dizier,
behind the old wash house, a dressed-stone structure fed by a spring served as a
place for pilgrims ablutions; they had to wash their heads in each of the niches, with
their bare feet in tubs on the ground
Bure
Musée Japy (Japy Museum): This museum covers the history of the Beaucourt

Maison des Cariatides, dates back to 1577, served as a regular home
and a courthouse. The Caryatids represent Justice in the center, two rich and two
poor, thus signifying justice for all.
The house of the today’s City Hall has been occupied by the Feltin family, of
which one member became Cardinal Archbship of Paris (Maurice Feltin, 1883 –
1975). Backing on the wall, it was constructed in 1581 on the site of a medieval
building. In the turret with the spiral staircase, you can see a plate bearing two
hammered insignia with the date of construction and the slogan of the builder
SEQVITVR FORTVNA LABOREM – Work creates richness. Notice also the beautiful
wooden gallery outside.

The countryside of Sundgau is charcterized by woods and ponds. The
Fourchu and Verchat ponds are wonderful spots for fishing and
pleasant for strolls. The Grille pond is home to plant and animal species
protected nationally and throughout Europe, and provides an
information board for walkers. In the towns of Courcelles, Réchésy and
Florimont, located on the Swiss border, visitors can view the
architectural style of frame houses, a design unique to Sundgau.

L’Eurovelo6 and francovélosuisse
A part of the Nantes-Budapest Eurovelo6 (European bike lane) crosses the
Territoire de Belfort for 10 km on the banks of the canal that connects the
Rhône to the Rhine between Bourogne and Montreux-Château. This route,
a true “Green Corridor” offers a quality route that extends east into the
Alsace until Mulhouse.
From the Eurovelo6, two possibilities to join Belfort: via the “Coulée verte”
alongside the canal “Haute-Saône” to Montbéliard or via the francovélosuisse,
a bicycle lane that connects Belfort and Porrentruy in Switzerland.

BERMONT
The small charming village of Franche Comté area. The church of St. Lawrence,
located on a rocky slope, is prominent on highway A36. On a structure dating
from perhaps the 12th century, the architect Charles GENTY rebuilt a church,
but kept the choir loft and the base of the steeple.
Belfort
From the Sun King to Denfert-Rochereau this city is at the heart of
French history. Protected by the Lion, a work of art from Bartholdi who is also
the creator of the Statue of Liberty, Belfort is still visible by its ramparts, which
were designed by Vauban. Inside the Citadel, the discovery walk allows you to
hike over moats in fortresses until you reach the Grand Souterrain (Great
Underground), transfigured by spectacular lighting. The History Museum has
devoted six of its rooms to Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi where sculptures,
sketches and photographs are displayed in order to promote the sculptor’s
connection to Belfort.
The Brisach Gate has been constructed in 1687 and embellished by Vauban to
honor Louis XIV. It’s the best entry to the city with its historical richness. Visit
Belfort, that’s also sauntering through the small charming narrow streets, feeling
the life of the Place d’Armes, admiring the colorful facades and the places full of
history.

Peninsula of Malsaucy
The peninsula of the lake Malsaucy with its water sports area provides
lots of group or solo activities: sailing and dinghy, canoeing, windsurfing,
kayaking, rowing, archery and mountain biking.
The recreational area on the other side of the lake offers a sandy beach where
you can enjoy lots of outdoor and summer activities.

Near the lake Malsaucy, the pond Veronne is a large expanse of water
exclusively for fishing. A route of 4 km (1.5 hours, accessible to all: walkers,
strollers, wheelchair users) circles the pond with paths and pontoons on the
edge of the water.

AUXELLES-HAUT
To commemorate the mobilization of the French forces of the Interior, a 15 km
hike called Down Memory Lane (“Chemin de la Mémoire”) tells the story of the
Haute Planche Underground and the long path towards liberation of northern
Franche-Comté (starting from the church).
THE SOUTHERN VOSGES
Come and explore the vast open spaces of the Southern Vosges, where
the ever-soothing, never monotonous green surroundings, from the pale
green of the meadowlands to the dark greens of the forest, are as perfect
for a spot of relaxation as they are for an exhilarating hike or a family
walk.
Then, of course, there is the strong blue presence of the region’s waters,
from its silent lakes and peat bogs to its gushing waterfalls, raging
torrents and indolent rivers, providing ample opportunity to indulge in
your favorite water sport or a spot of fishing.

Ballon d’Alsace
One of the great national sites and characterized by a peak of 1247 m, the
Ballon d’Alsace provides an ideal playground for children and adults with its numerous
opportunities for physical activities and relaxation.
During winter season the recently modernized domain with its 10 alpin skiing slopes and
6 cross-country slopes welcomes all fans of winter sports. The snow park is a paradise for
all those who love the new winter sports. Le Ballon proposes also 3 snowshoeing paths
and sled dog rides.
During the summer season, fishers will be happy with all the torrents and waterfalls.
Everywhere you find well-signposted tracks for all levels of difficulty. Hikers may discover
the wonderful panoramas. If you like the risk, why don’t you try an extreme sport?

The Fine Art collections of the City of Belfort are exposed in the ring-shaped
room of the Tower 41. The specific architectural design of the place divides the
150 works into five themes: allegories, religious paintings, nature, portraits and

Saints Peter and Paul church: a beautiful Roman church, from a priory founded
in the 12th century that was occupied by the Cluny monks. This priory owes its
founding to the legend of Saint Maimboeuf, murdered in the 8th or 9th century
near the “cold fountain”. In 1105, Ermentrude, countess of Montbéliard,
decided to found a priory in the community. Notice the three human heads on
the inside cornice and the three naves with rustic archways on large pillars. Two
tombstones from the 18th century appear at the entrance.
