An imposing structure overlooking the city, the citadel is one of the must-sees of a tourist stay in Besan\u00e7on<\/strong>. Built by Vauban, a military architect who lived between the 17th and early 18th centuries, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most majestic citadels in France. With a total of 10 kilometres of ramparts dotted with half-bastions, towers and other guardhouses, the citadel of Besan\u00e7on is Vauban’s masterpiece. The parapet walk, 600 metres long, 5 to 6 metres wide and 15 to 20 metres high, is a beautiful walk with breathtaking views of Besan\u00e7on and the surrounding countryside. Inside the Citadel, the Saint-Etienne chapel now houses a sound and light system projected on giant screens. This immersive device lets you relive the history of the citadel, from the battles to the major construction works. Three museums also await you within the walls of the Citadel: the Resistance and Deportation Museum, the Comtois Museum (regional ethnography museum) and the Museum which brings together a zoological garden and a museum of life and earth sciences.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
