Well for this year this will be my living town. It is situated in the north-east France in doorstep of Switzerland and Germany. Because of his position here you can find different influences witch are very well mixed. You can injoy in a Belfort surrounding, but also you can visite landskapes of Switzerland, city of Porrentruy. And on the other hand you can visite Black Forest in Germany and lake Titisee which is famous for his crystal- clear colour of the water.
