| Page Views: 59 Last Visit to Belfort: August, 1993 | Between the past and the future by Mikebond - last update: Apr 18, 2009 |
My parents and I stopped in Belfort while we were moving from Colmar in Alsace to Mégève in Savoie.
The town doesn't have a long past, since its existance was first documented in 1226. Its inhabitants repelled three sieges from the citadel, in 1814, 1815 and 1870-71.
The modern Belfort is known for its TGV-factories, where the French high-speed trains are produced. |
