Saturday 11th October 2025 Our journey north continues and I was surprised to learn that we are now officially in North Eastern France. It certainly feels cooler than around the Camargue and the French Riviera. Looking up at the citadel from the city square. Belfort is a fortified city which has a long history. As …
