    The castle of Joux also called Fort de Joux, perched on its rocky outcrop and located near the Swiss border served both as a place of observation and defense but also had the function of being a prison. Its most famous occupant who died in his jails is the Haitian independentist and revolutionary Toussaint Louverture. Napoleon having re-established slavery for pecuniary reasons, he opposed the emperor, which resulted in his imprisonment. You can visit this fort.
