With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Besancon, 30 miles away, has to offer. Besancon Citadel should be toward the top of your list here. Citadel of Besancon and Micropolis Conference Center are awesome attractions too. The locals will also probably point you toward Belfort, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Lion of Belfort. (But we’re also huge fans of Belfort Citadel and Belfort Cathedral.)
