    Section of road passing through a gorge with the Château de Joux on the heights on one side and the ruins of the lower Fort du Larmont, or Fort Mahler, on the other. This second, built in the 19th century, had the mission of protecting the Château de Joux.

    The Château de Joux (or Fort de Joux) is a fortified castle near Pontarlier, Franche-Comté, France in the French Jura.
    The castle is strategically located above the small town of La Cluse-et-Mijoux. This is where the Dijon-Lausanne trade route used to cross the Jura Mountains. The road runs through a rocky gorge here and could therefore be well controlled from the castle.
