Pontarlier, Administrative center in Doubs, France
Pontarlier extends along the Doubs River at 837 meters elevation, forming a natural passage between France and Switzerland through the Jura mountains.
The city developed as a crucial trading post between Besançon and Switzerland, leading to the construction of the Porte Saint-Pierre in the 18th century.
The municipal museum presents exhibits about regional history and industrial heritage, with particular attention to the traditional production methods of absinthe.
The local TCP transportation network connects commercial areas with residential neighborhoods, while Thursday markets offer regional products to residents.
The city maintains its status as the center of absinthe production in France, with distilleries continuing the centuries-old tradition of making this spirit.
