This is one of several citadelles designed by the mighty Vauban, military architect extraordinaire to Louis XIV and considered his masterpiece and the most beautiful. It is illuminated at night but check times as the lights are turned off quite early. There are 3 museums in the Citadelle which can be reached by a bus at Chamars or small train from the centre of Besancon. You can easily spend a whole day there. Take a picnic if weather is lovely. The Resistance Museum and Regional Museum (Musée Comtois) are inside the walls. The walk around the ramparts is stunning and gives a wonderful view of this stunning city on the Doubs which is in a loop in the river.

... just finished some very few years before the French Revolution: It is a master piece of enlightenment architecture. The explanations in the different buildings are very nicely done, English leaflets are at hand. We suggest to start with the short movie in the majestic director‘s house. The special exhibition about the cities of the future is absolutely to see. This was after 2015 my second visit to the Royal Saltworks: I shall return.
