With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Besancon, 18 miles away, has to offer. Besancon Citadel, Citadel of Besancon and Micropolis Conference Center alone justify the drive. Hauts de Bienne is another terrific option. It’s 40 miles away and offers a range of fascinating things to see and do. Balancier Ski Lift, Lac des Rousses and Gorges de l’Sbime are just the start.
