Comment
The Lion of Belfort is a monumental high-relief sculpture by Alsatian sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, located in Belfort, France, at the foot of the citadel cliff. It depicts a reclining lion, its paw resting on an arrow it has just stopped. It looks ready to rise, and rests on a rockwork pedestal. This commemorates the town's resistance to the Prussian siege during the 1870 war, at the end of which the area corresponding to today's Territoire de Belfort was the only part of Alsace to remain French.Villersexel is a French commune in the Haute-Saône department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
