If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got some suggestions. Located 20 miles away, Besancon is worth the drive. Among your first few stops here ought to be Besancon Citadel, Citadel of Besancon and Micropolis Conference Center. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Dole, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Ile du Girard Nature Reserve. (But we’re also huge fans of Musee Pasteur and Collegiale of Notre-Dame.)
