The Château de Joux (or Fort de Joux) is a fortified castle near Pontarlier, in Franche-Comté, in the French Jura.
The castle is located at a strategically important location above the small town of La Cluse-et-Mijoux. The Dijon-Lausanne trade route crossed the Jura mountains here. The road crosses a rocky cliff and could therefore be easily controlled from the castle.
