cradled in a loop of the river doubs

Cradled in a loop of the river Doubs, the ancient city of Besançon is one of the best preserved historic cities in France. In pre-Roman times, it was the capital of an area known as Sequania. When the area was conquered by the Romans, Julius Caesar described this naturally defensive site as "the jewel in my crown". Today Besançon is the capital of the region of Franche Comté, a thriving university town, and one of the more popular places to visit in eastern France. Location and Access Its location at the crosssroads of two major trans-European routes has always made Besançon a strategic city. It stands at the intersection of the Rhine-Rhone corridor and the historic main route between Rheims and Milan - or the UK and Switzerland. Today it is located at the intersection of the A36 Mulhouse-Beaune (Germany-Spain) motorway and the N57 - N83 route from Nancy to Lyon, as well as on the shortest route from the UK to the Swiss cities of Lausanne and Neuchâtel. The city is also served by the brand new Rhine-Rhone TGV route, and has direct TGV services from Paris in less than 2h 30, as well as from Lille, Lyon, Strasbourg, Marseille, Basel and Zurich. The nearest airport to Besançon is the Basel- Mulhouse Euroairport. Tourist attractions Quai Vauban Besançon, Tourist boat passing in front of 17th century Quai Vauban, Roman gate, The Roman "Porte Noire", recently renovated, and behind it the cathedral Besançon, capital of the Franche-Comté region, has a wealth of tourist attractions. The most visited of these is the Citadel - a UNESCO World Heritage site - a magnificent example of seventeenth-century military architecture, designed by Vauban. The imposing Citadel stands on a massive rock - sheer on both sides - that blocks the entrance to the loop of the river Doubs. As well as being an important historic monument in its own right, the Citadel contains a number of museums, including a folk museum, a museum of the Resistance and the Deportation, an insectarium, and a zoo. Visitors driving or walking up to the Citadel pass by Besançon's St. Jean cathedral: built on the groundplan of an earlier Carolingian cathedral, with an altar at both ends, St. Jean's is a fine mediaeval cathedral which also houses one of the great works of the Florentine Renaissance master Fra Bartolomeo, as well as a great astronomic clock, a fitting
