ブザンソンの湖・トップ4

It's a leisure center and it only opens in June (including the campsite). No services are available when it's closed (not even a water tap). The campsite opens way too late.

Great parking area with no significant traffic (bicycles maybe) and plenty of shade on warm days.

The "Parc de la Gare d'Eau" offers visitors an attractive setting between green spaces and water areas. Protected by the ramparts and overlooked by the citadel, the promenade combines calm and beautiful landscapes. Redesigned in the 1970s, the Parc de la Gare d'Eau, which extends along the banks of the Doubs, almost disappeared between the buildings of Vauban and the projects for the administrative city. Thankfully, it was saved and today invites you to stroll and hosts cultural events, including the Mots Doubs and the Doubs Eté. (https://www.besac.com/) There is also a guinguette here, which offers drinks and food, and a space where concerts are occasionally held.

The Gare-d'Eau is a sector of Besançon city center that was once a port for goods and later for entertainment. Today it consists of the gardens of the Gare-d'Eau, a large green space along the Doubs, although the basin that served as a nautical stop still exists. By extension, the Bisontines also refer to the Avenue de la Gare-d'Eau and generally the northeastern quays up to the Rivotte sector as part of this sector.

The Aurêtre pond is located north of Besançon in the commune of Geneuille. It presents a pretty bucolic setting when nature is in bloom.

The blue spring is a Vauclusian spring which emerges in an oval basin. Its depth is nine meters. Divers explored the submerged gallery over a length of 220 meters before stumbling upon a narrowing which was not crossed. The gallery is made up of two siphons. The turquoise blue waters give it its name.

As the name suggests, this water is crystal clear sea blue. Is it worth visiting and maybe taking a dip?
