Montbéliard

Highlight • Settlement

Montbéliard is an industrial city in eastern France, renowned for the Peugeot (car manufacturer) facilities located in the neighboring town of Sochaux. The city has a train station with daily service to Besançon (and then Paris). It is also popular with hikers, as the GR 5 long-distance hiking trail passes nearby and the EuroVelo 6 cycle route runs through its city center.

If you visit, be sure to see the Château des Ducs de Wurtemberg (Castle of the Dukes of Württemberg), the Temple Saint-Martin (Saint Martin's Temple), or the Church of Saint-Maimboeuf. With a population of 25,000, the city offers all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay.

Château de Montbéliard

Highlight • Castle

The Castle of the Dukes of Württemberg dates back to the 13th century, replacing an earlier castle documented as early as the 10th century. Its current appearance is the result of significant modifications in the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly to the towers.

The museum is open from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. every day except Tuesday. The ticket is also valid for the Beurnier-Rossel Museum of Art & History.

Montbéliard

Highlight • Settlement

Former German principality, and nicknamed the city of princes, the country of Montbéliard draws its identity from its Protestant culture and its original history on French soil. It is known to be the cradle of Peugeot automobiles, but it also owes its success to its famous Montbéliarde breed of cows that can be seen everywhere in the Jura and the Doubs, which provides the milk for the production of Comté. Along with Strasbourg, it has one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in the whole country. The old center is interesting and worth a visit.
