After all the places you’ll have seen, I’m sure you’ll have a positive opinion on Belfort. Just remember that it’s an active city where lots of activities are organized through the year. On springs, there is a funfair for example. On winter at the winter wonderland, a skating ring is set up and there are small huts where people sell waffles, crêpes, clothes or many other things.
I hope you’ll enjoy our city, have a good time in Belfort!
