Château de Joux is a beautiful landmark in eastern France
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
New contributor Icarus57 brings us this excellent drone video of a castle-fortress in the eastern part of France. It's called Fort de Joux (Château de Joux), and it's located in the Jura Mountains in La Cluse-et-Mijoux, a commune in the department of Doubs.

In the 1930's, it became part of the Maginot Line, serving as a defensive fortification against a possible German invasion through Switzerland.
