Arrive in Besançon — the Vauban citadel city and watchmaking capital of Franche-Comté — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Besançon is the historic capital of Franche-Comté in eastern France, wrapped inside a tight loop of the river Doubs and guarded by Vauban's 17th-century Citadel, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. For two centuries the city was the centre of French watchmaking, a heritage kept alive in the Musée du Temps inside the Palais Granvelle and in today's microtechnology firms on the Temis science park. The Université de Franche-Comté is headquartered here, with its main campus at La Bouloie on the hill above the north-west of the city and further faculties in the centre. Victor Hugo was born on the Grande Rue in 1802; Dijon lies about 90 km west, Basel and the Swiss border around 140 km east.
