Besançon - Museums

Southeast of the old town of Besançon, 118m/387ft above the Doubs, lies the Citadel, with an elaborate system of fortifications which was largely the work of Vauban. It now houses a number of interesting museums - the Musée Agraire, the Musée Populaire Comtois, the Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation and the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle, together with an Aquarium and a Zoological Park.
