There has been a castle resting on this crag above the confluence of the Allan and Lizaine Rivers since the 900s. Needless to say things have changed a lot over time, and the building is now a maze of interconnecting rooms, mostly from the 1700s. The oldest elements on the outside are the two bulky circular towers, dating to the 1400s and crowned w...
There are also two museums to see at the château: The larger of the two is the Musée Cuvier, named for Georges Cuvier, who was born in Montbéliard and was one of the pioneers in the field of palaeontology. You’ll see his office and get to grips with his work, studying finds from the region’s many archaeological sites: Among the fossils are dinosaur...
Heinrich Schickhardt was an architect and polymath working at the turn of the 17th century and who has been dubbed the “Swabian Leonardo da Vinci”. In the early 1600s Montbéliard’s population mushroomed with the arrival of Huguenot refugees. Schickhardt was hired to draw up a new urban plan and a raft of construction projects in an Italian Renaissa...

Not only is it a leafy and calming “green lung”, with waterside paths, Près-La-Rose is also strewn with installations to stimulate your mind: Amid 100 different tree species there are sundials, a Foucalt’s pen...

The attraction collaborates with the Cité des Sciences in Paris to put on temporary exhibitions for topics as varied as the chemistry of food, renewable energy and light and shadow.

If there’s an easy way to tell that Montbéliard was separate from the Republic of France until the Revolution, it’s the presence of Protestant places of worship. The Temple Saint-Martin is also a big deal because it’s another structure designed by Heinrich Schickhardt. It was built in his preferred Tuscan Renaissance style in the first few years of...
One of the things that may strike you about the Peugeot Musuem is that the company goes right back to 1810, long before the car was invented. And while you may know Peugeot as a bicycle manufacturer, you might not be aware they started out making coffee mills! You’ll find out all about these origins. A few of those early grinders are on show, along...
It was the Peugueot group that founded the local football team, which swept all before it in the early days of French professional football. Sochaux were one of the French first division’s founding members and have spent more time in the top flight than any other club. Their most recent stint in Ligue 1 came to an end in 2014 when they were relegat...
The Pays de Montbéliard tourist office organises tours of the PSA Sochaux Plant. This is not an experience to pass up, as the Peugeot-Citroën factory is the largest in France, and one of the most technologically advanced in Europe. At the moment this facility assembles the 308, 3008 and 5008. But even cooler is that the Sochaux Plant is also the co...
