"Very comfortable and clean room. The restaurant next door was excellent and very handy for hotel guests"
Very pleasant town. Pedestrian friendly, getting around is very easy. The houses have been sandblasted in the old town and if it were not for the cars, you would think you were in another era. Lots to see in and around town.
The citadel is worth the climb with museum and zoo inside. The musée du Temps is nice too. We took an interesting little cruise on the Doubs and further out of town to the sources de la Loue and visited the musée des maisons comtoises.

Wonderful place - I am a huge admirer of Vauban and his fortification - no question here!!! If you link that with Victor Hugo... Absolutely no question... If I could come back - any time: one of my favourite destinations!

Like in many towns, cities and even villages in France, there is not much going on, on Sundays and even Mondays. So if you plan to visit any place in France, excepted for major big cities, do not travel on those days, it will be like ghost areas.
The old city within the rampart is the most interesting corner of Besançon... As long as you are willing to walk around, especially in the pedestrian area.
The major point of interest is definitely the Citadel; again, if requires walking a lot, but looking down to the city from there, is worth the effort.

I had no idea Besancon would be so interesting! It is a great city to explore on foot - an amazing collection of very old architecture, a beautiful setting on the river, and a lively restaurant and shopping scene.

Besancon has the most spectacular of Vauban's (recognised by all as the greatest of military engineers and a high favorite of the Sun King, Louis XIV) 17th Century forts protecting France, and it needs to be on your attractions list. It is the chief reason for its tourism. There is a Roman Portal too! Old town is beautiful

I have never seen this town advertised anywhere before.
I have never seen this town advertised anywhere before. However, it is a pearl of Franche-Comté. It has magnificient riverside parks and fountains. The hills have fortresses worth visiting. And of course the Citadelle is fascinating. Do not try to save the 10.50 entrance ticket price, as it provides you with an all-day program. The citadelle has a zoo, an insectarium, an acquarium, many museums and a multimedia history presentation. It is worth seeing. The view from the walls of the citadelle is simply a 'kill'.
As for the city itself, there are a lot of monuments to visit, we counted about 30 to 40. The city centre is a nice place and very clean. There are pleasant cafés and confectioneries to sit in, if you like cakes and coffee. There are countless restaurants offering various foods (vegetarian and healthy food included).
La viennoise confectionery does not have a high rating, but the ice cream is very good.
Betises et Volup The - is an interesting place to sit down and enjoy the nice decoration and accessories you are served the food and drinks in.
Besancon is absolutely worth a visit. We spent 3 days there and were not bored for a moment.
“Boutique style property very elegantly decorated. Comfortable twin beds made into big bed. We found the hotel handy for visiting the town and for restaurants in the evening. Not many staff but very efficient particularly the lady on reception. Quite winding narrow streets but we managed fine in a 4 x 4 and the carpark was big and secure. Beautiful views from the rooms, we had room 12, and at breakfast. This was our 2nd visit and the hotel was as beautiful as we remembered it.”
“Friendly staff. Spacious room. Original design. Sense of detail pushed to the extreme. We had requested an extra bed for baby. We were treated to the sleeping bag and the necessary to change. We did not try the restaurant but the card seemed ok. Free parking if necessary.”
“Staff (Marie Therese) was very friendly and helpful, explained every thing you need to know about Besancon and how to continue my further journey. Definetely knows the formula how to add value to guests. Hotel was clean and comfortable.”
“The hotel is quiet and has a wonderful parkingspace even though it is located right in the center of the old part of the city. It is in a beautifully renovated old town house.”
“Beautiful room and lovely surroundings. The garden is beautiful, very calm and relaxing, with an lovely armchair and a small table outside to take advantage of the flowers and of the view.”
