With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Besancon, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Besancon Citadel, Citadel of Besancon and Micropolis Conference Center. Don’t skip Dole either! Just 30 miles away, Ile du Girard Nature Reserve, Musee Pasteur and Collegiale of Notre-Dame are essential stops here.
