Places to see in ( Besancon - France )
Places to see in ( Besancon - France )
Besançon is a city in eastern France, near the border with Switzerland. The old city center lies in a horseshoe bend on the Doubs River. The sprawling Citadel of Besançon perches on a hill and is home to 3 museums, a zoo and 600m-long ramparts. At the foot of the hill, Besançon Cathedral has a unique 70-dial astronomical clock that indicates sunrise and sunset, eclipses, and tides in French ports.
Hugging a bouclé (hairpin curve) of the River Doubs, the cultured and very attractive capital of Franche-Comté remains refreshingly modest and untouristy, despite charms such as a monumental Vauban citadel, a graceful 18th-century old town and France’s first public museum. In Gallo-Roman times, Vesontio (over the centuries, the name evolved to become Besançon) was an important stop on the trade routes linking Italy, the Alps and the Rhine, and some striking remains of this period survive.
Besançon (affectionately known as Besac by its inhabitants) is situated in an oxbow bend of the river Doubs (known as la Boucle). The river encircles the old town, while the imposing citadel, built by military engineer Vauban, blocks the neck of the river bend.
The city has a long history, and has been settled since the Bronze Age (ca. 1,500 BC). In Roman times, Besançon was a flourishing provincial town known as Vesontio. Some Roman remains can still be admired in the city centre. In the late Middle Ages, Besançon was a free city state within the Holy Roman Empire. From the 14th to the 17th century, Besançon and the region of Franche-Comté changed hands various times between Burgundy, Spain and France, and were finally joined with France in 1678. From then on, Besançon became an important strategic town for the French, and large fortifications were built to defend it. Besançon has however not played any major role in French history since then, and its location as a relative backwater has left the city centre largely unspoiled.

France: The City of Besançon
Besançon is the capital of the department of Doubs and the former capital of Franche-Comté, a region in eastern France close to the border with Switzerland. In 2013, Besançon had a population of 116,952.
Once proclaimed the first green city of France, it has been labeled a Town of Art and History since 1986. Since 2008, the Citadel of Besançon has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The city has one of the most beautiful historic centers of any major town in France. A broad horse-shoe of the river Doubs, la Boucle, encircles the old town, while Vauban's imposing Citadelle blocks off the neck. The historic center presents a remarkable ensemble of classic stone buildings, some dating back to the Middle Ages and others to the Spanish Renaissance. Among its most visited historic monuments are: several Roman remains, the 16th-century Palais Granvelle, Vauban's citadel (Citadel of Besançon) (this wil be the subject of one of my next videos), the Cathedral of St. Jean, several Spanish Renaissance-style buildings, the Église de la Madeleine, and the river frontage.

The église Sainte-Madeleine is a neoclassical 18th century hall church in the Battant district of Besançon, France, dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. Antoine-Pierre II de Grammont, the archbishop of Besançon, had it built from 1746 to 1766 to plans by the architect Nicolas Nicole. The church Sainte-Madeleine is a church hall in classical style of the xviii th century , the Beating district of Besançon , in the Doubs in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté . It is rebuilt, between 1746 to 1766 , by the bisontin architect Nicolas Nicole , and dedicated to Marie de Magdala .
This church of the Saint Étienne Pastoral Unit , has been listed as a historic monument since 1930, and houses a listed organ.historical monuments , as well as a museum of the past life of the neighborhood of Battant. Note that 34 other French churches are baptized Sainte-Madeleine. The Bisontins call it preferably Church of the Madeleine. This church is built at the exit of the historic city center ( La Boucle ) by the Battant bridge , at the entrance of the quarter Battant (historic district of the old vine growers of the city), and was built, destroyed and restored several times.
The May 26, 1746Archbishop Antoine-Pierre II of Grammont laid the foundation stone for the reconstruction of the building, to replace the old Gothic collegiate church which is threatening to fall into ruins. The works directed by the architect Nicolas Nicole (which will be the masterpiece), lasted until 1766 with 66 m long and 39 m wide, a triple nave , many side chapels , slender arches, statues the xvi th century , rich collections of paintings of Flemish schools and Grandfather of the xvii th centuriesand xviii th centuries , and a large roof glazed tile Burgundy.
This hall-church is built on a Latin cross- shaped plan , with a large classical facade made up of Doric and Ionic order columns , flanked by two towers built without coronations by Nicolas Nicole . The building has a large nave with three spans, separated from the aisles by twin Ionic columns, and a non-salient transept , and a choir closed by a polygonal chevet. The low sides, which have the particularity of being vaulted with edges, open on chapels . The lighting of the nave, though sometimes insufficient, is ensured through stained glass windows in the chapels and rosettes located under the vault. From 1982 to 1989 the building is covered with a new frame covered with Burgundy glazed tile , with herringbone patterns.
A large number of sculptures decorate the interior of the building, including the altar-altarpiece of Saint-Vernier (patron saint of the Franche-Comté winemakers ), work of Claude Joseph Alexandre Bertrand dating from 1784 , the Virgin of the Cordeliers is finding before the Revolution in the Couvent des Cordeliers in Besançon (now lycée Pasteur ) and dating from the xvi th century , the bust of Melchizedek , who happens to be a carved fragment xiii th century one of the statues that once adorned the portal the medieval church destroyed during the xviii th century

Places to see in ( Besancon - France ) La Citadelle de Besancon
The Citadel of Besançon is a 17th-century fortress in Franche-Comté, France. It is one of the finest masterpieces of military architecture designed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban. The Citadel occupies 11 hectares (27 acres) on Mount Saint-Etienne, one of the seven hills that protect Besançon, the capital of Franche-Comté. Mount Saint-Etienne occupies the neck of an oxbow formed by the river Doubs, giving the site a strategic importance that Julius Caesar recognised as early as 58 BC.
The Citadel overlooks the old quarter of the city, which is located within the oxbow, and has views of the city and its surroundings. The fortification is well preserved. Today it is an important tourist site (over a quarter of a million visitors per year) due both to its own characteristics and because it is the site of several museums.
These museums include a museum of the Resistance and deportation, a museum focusing on traditional life in Franche-Comté and the region's archeological history, and a museum of natural history that includes a zoo, an insectarium, an aquarium, vivariums, a noctarium, a climatorium, a pedagogical exhibit on evolution, botanical gardens, and a children's farm. There is also a restaurant and shops. On 7 July 2008, UNESCO listed the Citadel, together with nearby Fort Griffon, as a World Heritage Site. Since 1942, the French Ministry of Culture has listed the Citadel as a Monument historique
In Gallo-Roman times the promontory on which the citadel sits was already used as an acropolis. A wall enclosed a temple, probably dedicated to Jupiter Capitolinus. (Reference to the Roman history of the town is preserved in the town's arms, which show an eagle clasping two Roman columns in its claws.) The fortifications were renovated during the Middle Ages and again in the 16th century.
Between 1668 and 1672, the Spaniards started to construct a modern citadel on the site. Some of the buildings they constructed were incorporated into the subsequent enlargement of the Citadel. The Royal Front (Front meaning bastion or enclosure), and the Relief Front, both include buildings that the Spaniards erected.
The Citadel is built on top of a large syncline on a rectangular field crossed across its width by three successive bastions (enclosures, or fronts) behind which extend three plazas. The whole is surrounded by walls covered by circular paths and punctuated by watchtowers and sentry posts. The walls are up to 15 to 20 metres (49 to 66 ft) high with a thickness between 5 and 6 metres (16 and 20 ft).
