"The village is located 12 km from Belfort, head of the department, near the RD 419 connecting Belfort to Altkirch.
Fontaine is a village whose activity remained very long agricultural until Airfield Belfort - Fontaine be transformed into industrial park: Aéroparc and connected to the A36 motorway linking the Rhone basin Rhine plain.

History: The earliest mention of Fontanis in the archives dates from the eleventh century but it was in 1441 that can positively identify the Fountain for us.
It was part of the fief of Montreux-Château and therefore depended County Ferrette and the House of Austria. In 1458, the death of Jean de Montreux, his son Antoine received an inheritance Bretagne (Territoire de Belfort), Fontaine, Foussemagne, Montreux-Vieux Montreux-Jeune but is dispossessed of his fief by Sigismund Archduke for taking party of Charles the Bold.
In acts written in German during the Austrian period, the village was designated as the Brunn or Burnen.
The fountain monument is undoubtedly the Linden Turenne which housed the great man December 29, 1674 at the Alsace campaign, before the victorious battle of Turckheim.
Before 1782 Fountain church depended on that of Montreux-Jeune. Became autonomous, the parish of Fontaine also includes costs and Foussemagne. The shrine, dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, was rebuilt in 1788."
