Bitche
Bitche is near the north-eastern border of France (with Germany), east of Metz and north of Strasbourg.
As backdrop the town has the substantial citadel that sits on a hill behind the town. Constructed in the 18th century on the site of earlier defensive buildings, the citadel turned out to have impressive strength and held out against invasions in 1793, 1815 and 1870.
A visit to the citadel is interesting, with the rooms within the building each showing a short film representing the history of the citadel, and the Siege of Bitche. Admission to the citadel also entitles you to enter the two small museums associated with the building.
Apart from the citadel, the town itself has some pleasant attractions, including the original gateways into the town, and the impressive organ in the church of Saint Catherine.
Another highlight in Bitche - there is a sculpture garden in the town park with some interesting pieces, including one by designer Philippe Starck.
