FNC-2015 will be held in the city of Belfort. Belfort exists since the Roman period and was official recognized as an autonomous city in 1307. From this date, the city was under the authority of the Burgundy Duchy and Austrian Empire. In 1638, Belfort becomes a French city. After the war of 1871, France looses the Alsace and Lorraine regions, except the city of Belfort for its outstanding defense. The statue of the Lion of Belfort was made by Bartholdi to commemorate this event.
