Montfaucon Viewpoint

Highlight • Historical Site

This belvedere is one of the most spectacular in the heights of Besançon. It opens a wide window onto the Doubs valley, the Citadel of Besançon and the Jura mountains. As a bonus, when the horizon clears, you can also enjoy a superb view of the Mont-Blanc range.

This belvedere is also an opportunity to learn a little history since you are on the site of Fort Woirol with several observation posts and the Montfaucon redoubt.
