비앙레우시에‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 동굴

From the road, there is a beautiful view of Fort Malher. Also known as Lower Larmont Fort, this military fort was built in the 19th century directly opposite Joux Castle. It is part of the Séré de Rivières system, overlooking the village of La Cluse-et-Mijoux at an altitude of 1,032 meters.

The complex is impressive even from the outside and, despite its 1,000-year-old and eventful history, is still in good condition. It has been continuously modernized to accommodate the latest military and artillery technologies.

Beautiful view of the fort du Larmont.

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.

Unfortunately very heavy traffic, at least on Sunday evening

Superb point of view, reward for a difficult climb by bike. View of the castle and the Cluse, and the Métabief ski slopes in the distance to the south.

This is a spectacular fort standing high on a rocky spur. Worth a short detour for a visit if you are into your history. Initially built in wood in the 11th century, it was then rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. It has been a medieval castle, a border fortress, a state prison and then an artillery fort.

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.
