Petit train touristique de Besançon

An ideal complement to the boat tour of the Doubs loop on board the Vauban, the Petit Train takes you on a 45-minute tour of the old town of Besançon through its winding streets, with historical commentaries in which Vauban and Victor Hugo tell the story of Besançon. Stop at the entrance to the Citadelle, then return to the departure point.

For individuals: the Petit-train runs every hour during the summer school holidays (continuous rotation, except during the lunch break).
Outside the summer holidays: at weekends and during the week, depending on tourist flows. Departure days are announced live on www.visitezbesancon.
