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.translated by•March 31, 2020
