With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Belfort, 20 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Lion of Belfort, Belfort Citadel and Belfort Cathedral. The locals will also probably point you toward Besancon, 30 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Besancon Citadel. (But we’re also huge fans of Citadel of Besancon and Micropolis Conference Center.)
