    Hiking

    Montfaucon Castle has dominated Besançon, on its rocky outcrop, since the 11th century.
    Of historical interest, the castle also offers the brave who have climbed up there a very beautiful panorama of the city.

    Only ruins of this 11th century castle remain, but renovation work has preserved several interesting architectural elements.
    In addition, for those who have made the effort to climb up there, they will discover a beautiful landscape over Besançon and its surroundings.
