Departure from Besançon (Doubs)
There are plenty of fountains in Besançon! Some more imposing than others, some more interesting, some steeped in history.
Rather than admiring one by chance or even walking past it with complete indifference, why not go on a hunt for the 20 fountains?
An urban and cultural stroll that will help you discover Besançon in a fun way.
The Beautiful Lady and the Four Guardians of Besançon

Departure from Besançon (Doubs)
The beautiful Citadel, flanked by its four guardians – the forts of Chaudanne, Griffon, Beauregard and Bregille – still watches over the historic heart of Besançon and its inhabitants.
Discover them on this superb walk. Please note: you’ll be visiting forts, which means climbing to higher ground – so there’s a significant elevation gain – but what a reward: the views from up there are simply heavenly.
