UNESCO World Heritage Site

Here you get a good idea of the size of the citadel.

The Tour de la Pelote is a medieval cannon tower that was integrated into the fortification program created by Vauban in the 17th century. The original roof structure from the Vauban era was destroyed in a fire in 2013, but the building was extensively restored in 2016. The tower can be visited as part of city tours, for example. https://www.besancon-tourisme.com/

Fort Griffon in Besançon is a 17th century military monument that has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the "Network of Major Vauban Sites". Today, the buildings are used by the French University for teacher training, but the structural adaptations were carried out while maintaining the original 17th century walls.

In 1475, under the reign of Duke Charles the Bold (1433-1477), sovereign of the Burgundian state, this tower was built at the foot of the Battant bastion, where the Mouillère stream flows into the Doubs. . The name of this tower comes from Pierre Pillot, lord of Chenecey, and co-governor of Besançon, from whom the land for the building was purchased, for the construction of this building. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_la_Pelote

This remarkable tower (2nd half 15th C) was integrated into Vauban's design, so that it did not have to be demolished. Now there is a restaurant.

On my way back along Doub, the citadel is the first thing that appears from further away. a great sight.

Ideal location to admire the Citadel from a particularly flattering angle with a beautiful low angle and superb vanishing lines. You can also admire the geology of the cliff on which the Citadel sits. In the early hours of the morning and evening, look up towards the crest of the cliffs, there is a good chance that you will see the silhouettes of a few chamois.
