Musee de la Résistance et de la Déportation

The Citadel of Besançon, designed by Vauban and a masterpiece of the XVII century, is the premier tourist destination of the Franche-Comté. This magnificently restored fortress houses several museums as well as a large number of animal enclosures.

Unique and unexpected, the Museum of Besançon displays very varied naturalized and living collections. It illustrates in an original way, a way that is extremely unusual in France, the diversity of life.
