hey guys! my name is Lyndi I’m an American that’s been living in France for over six years now. Today we have a fun day trip planned to a city I’ve never been to called Belfort! so I’m really looking forward to it! just from a quick Google search, it looks really cool so i’m not going to spoil it too much so you’ll just see.. alright, let’s roll *c’est parti* for the lion– what’s pretty cool is it was sculpted by Bartholdi, who is if you saw my last video, he’s the same sculptor who sculpted the Statue of Liberty and that’s why there’s a mini one in Colmar as well! there are 3 other spots i wanted to mention. two are closed today as it’s Sunday and then one is seasonal. so there’s the covered market and there’s a planetarium which I thought was really cool — they do shows and stuff like that but check online for their hours in advance as they kind of change and then lastly is the Rose Garden but that’s more for spring or summer so we got back a little bit ago and what a surprise! I was not expecting the city to be so cool I definitely recommend it! it’s so colorful and there were some highlights for sure so we first got lunch at Le Trois and it was very good. then we went over to see the lion which was quite impressive really then the views over Belfort were just super cool so definitely recommend that. also my friend has a drone so that was fun to play with and get some cool shots that I’ve included I would say we went on a Sunday and we were very surprised that it was like a ghost town! we pretty much had the whole town to ourselves which was kind of cool but yeah, it was also a little eerie and strange.. however in the midafternoon or so, we got a coffee and that’s when people started to come out! so I don’t know if it’s just because it was a Sunday or if that city is always like that?? if you’ve ever visited there or you’re from there even, let me know your thoughts! in general like we were just not expecting it to be such a cute city! so I definitely recommend it alright, until next time *gros bisous, salut*
