Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Citadel of Besançon is part of a vast network of fortifications... but it is also a site of major geological interest, recognized by its inclusion in the national geological heritage inventory.
Good news! The book Jura bisontin – Reliefs, paysages et roches(The Jura Mountains around Besançon – Reliefs, Landscapes, and Rocks), published in 2015, is available again.
This unique work by Pierre Chauve and Patrick Rolin offers a clear and fascinating overview of Besançon's geological features. It explains the relief and landscapes, providing a better understanding of the panoramic views visible from the city and the peaks that surround it.
