If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Situated 25 miles away, Besancon is worth getting in the car for. Among the first stops you make here should be Besancon Citadel, Citadel of Besancon and Micropolis Conference Center. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Dole, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Ile du Girard Nature Reserve. (But we’d also recommend Musee Pasteur and Collegiale of Notre-Dame.)
