The Territory
The name of the Territory brings to mind the Lion, its inseparable emblem, its industrial and military past, or its somewhat hidden location, somewhere on the outskirts of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Its title of smallest department in France could also make it seem monotonous or without particular interest. And yet, no other destination is able to represent, in such a little area, such a kaleidoscope of change and surprise. It is a sort of paradise of 610 km2 decorated with multiple waters, mountains, wide open spaces with forts, ramparts or bastions erected on the lines of a wild and steep geology.
