Montbéliard becomes “French Capital of Culture” on Saturday with Gabriel Attal. The Doubs agglomeration, 140,000 inhabitants, is better known for its sausage and its industrial past, with the large Peugeot factories based in Sochaux.
The event has finally expanded and offers nearly 300 events over the year, 150 of which are the result of a call for projects, closed three months before its launch. Residents of the city's 73 municipalities are invited to take part in the festivities from 7 p.m.
