This belvedere is one of the most spectacular in the heights of Besançon. It opens a wide window onto the Doubs valley, the Citadel of Besançon and the Jura mountains. As a bonus, when the horizon clears, you can also enjoy a superb view of the Mont-Blanc range. This belvedere is also an opportunity to learn a little history since you are on the site of Fort Woirol with several observation posts and the Montfaucon redoubt.

Museum on 16 hectares allowing you to admire 35 typical buildings of Franche-Comté dating from the 17th to the 19th century and which have all been gradually dismantled and rebuilt in Nancray since 1984. They bear witness to construction but also to life in the region over the centuries.

This drinking trough is located at the foot of the ruins of the castle of Montfaucon. Very easily accessible on foot, by mountain bike or by Gravel.

Only ruins of this 11th century castle remain, but renovation work has preserved several interesting architectural elements. In addition, for those who have made the effort to climb up there, they will discover a beautiful landscape over Besançon and its surroundings.
