Montbeliard

Tucked between the Allan and Lizaine rivers in northern Franche-Comté, Montbéliard is a place whose character is shaped by its borderland past and industrial surroundings. The Château des Ducs de Wurtemberg, standing above the old centre, recalls the centuries when the town belonged to the County of Württemberg; that connection also established a lasting Lutheran tradition. Colourful façades around Place Saint-Martin and the Temple Saint-Martin give the centre a character distinct from many French towns. Montbéliard is also closely tied to the Peugeot story: the company developed in the nearby Pays de Montbéliard, where manufacturing remains a major part of local identity. Each winter, its Lumières de Noël celebrations animate the streets and market squares. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Pays de Montbéliard.
