The citadel, a magnificent example of 17th century military architecture (designed by Vauban) is a UNESCO world heritage site, and it contains a number of museums, such as the folk museum, the museum of the Resistance and a zoo. Rent a car in Saint Claude and Lac de l'Abbaye is only a 30-minute drive away, and is charming year-round. During the summer months it has a small beach and you can swim in the lake, and in the winter it often freezes over, making for a very picturesque scene.
