Montbéliard & Belfort, France

September 8, 2008January 23, 2017Gelatotravels

Saturday we took a drive to France to see a few cute towns. It’s amazing to us how these countries can all be so close but yet so different.

Château de Montbéliard was a cool fortress overlooking the town of Montbéliard.

Posing in front of a statue in Montbéliard.

We can’t get enough of the all of delicious Boulangerie Pâtisserie…..yum!

Belfort had this really awesome Citadel. The boys loved the drawbridges, moats, cannons, etc.

This lion statue was done by the same guy Frédéric Bartholdi, who did the Statue of Liberty.

2 boys + 1 cannon = way too much fun.
