Belfort's old town, a heritage setting

The market takes place on the Place d'Armes, in the heart of Belfort's old town, a stone's throw from the Vauban citadel and the Lion of Belfort rock. This exceptional historical setting adds a cultural and heritage dimension to the practice of bargain hunting. The cobbled streets of the old town, the facades of bourgeois houses, and the proximity of the fortress create a unique atmosphere that enhances the market's appeal.
