I visited museum with my colleagues. We had English speaking guide as part of private tour. She provided interesting facts from history of Peugeot family. They aren’t only cars exhibited there but other things which were made by Peugeot family. Most of the cars are in working condition and perfectly restored. You can buy souvenirs at shop there. There is enough parking outside.

The Departmental Courbet museum presents the life and work of Gustave Courbet, realistic painter from Ornans, through a rich permanent exhibition of over 70 works. The permanent collection evokes Ornans to Paris, his life, the aesthetic revolution he led, artistic circles he frequented, and political and social commitments. The museum organizes two temporary exhibitions each year and offers many activities: concerts, storytelling, shows, conferences, etc., detailed in our "cultural programming" quarterly.

This museum shows one of the most comprehensive collections of Courbet’s works, including drawings and engravings. Situated on the Loue, located in the heart of Ornans where Courbet was born, raised and lived off and on for a good part of his life, the museum gives the visitor a solid grounding in his work. The modern installation is airy and bright. The wall plaques provide context and for those who read French and can decipher Courbet’s spidery handwriting, a generous sampling of his letters presents a good sense of how important the natural world of Ornans was as an inspiration. Ornans may be a little off the beaten path but the trip is well worth the time. Plus the twisting road down into the narrow valley of the Loue in which Ornans sits is an experience in itself.

Especially for a Swiss citizen this visit is a must. First by touring this immense palace and Mansion the visitor understands the importance of the Granvelle family for Europe (once as important as the Italian Medici). Then the detailed explanations and visits of the immense watchmaking industry locally produced is so informative and impressive, that the visitor finally understands Besançon 'genius loci' (the genial spirit of the place). Perhaps here is in Europe the best explained 'grande complication' (high complexity) watch. Study and enjoy. Do not miss the excellent museum shop (very advanced literature on the 'haute horlogerie subject - finest watchmaking). Oh, I forgot: here is a hight tower with a fantastic view on the old city roofs, and the famous 'Foucault pendulum' experiment. Enjoy!
