RV Rental Belfort, BFC

While exploring Belfort, make time to visit the Porte de Brisach, or the Brisach Gate. This gateway to the city was created by Vauban. A bridge crosses the Rue des Mobiles and leads to the majestic gates. The Sun King emblem is emblazoned on the gates along with Louis XIV’s motto of nec pluribus impar, which means "not unequal to many." The ornate gates were crafted in 1687 and used until 1703. Visitors can stroll along the walls leading to the gate and stop for photos with these architectural marvels.

When planning a trip to Belfort, make sure you stop in and tour the Belfort Citadel, built in the 13th century. Comte de Suze added more defenses to the citadel in the 17th century, followed by Vauban, who added a second wall and a system of ditches and motes that kept the city from falling during a siege in 1815. Visitors can tour the Belfort Citadel, climb up to the lookouts and explore the subterranean passages below. During the summer, visitors can watch re-enactments of various battles throughout Belfort’s history.

Bring your camera and head over to the Lion of Bartholdi, perched on a ledge below the Belfort Citadel. The lion was carved in 1880 by Frederic Bartholdi as a way to memorialize the siege of Belfort that took place during the Franco-Prussian War. Bartholdi is the same sculptor who designed the Statue of Liberty. The Lion stands tall on his ledge and beckons visitors to learn more about Belfort’s history.

The Musee d’Historie et d’Archeologie, or Museum of the History of Belfort, is housed in the Belfort Citadel’s former barracks. The museum is divided into three spaces and covers thousands of years of Belfort history. One section holds all things Bartholdi, including small sculptures and models, sketches of the lion, and even some sketches and models of the Statue of Liberty. Another section of the museum has prehistoric artifacts through the Gallo-Roman and Carolingian eras. The last section of the museum is a gallery memorializing the history of Belfort’s military efforts.
