Besancon is a lively bustling city with an interesting mixture of old and
new. It is situated in the lovely valley of the Doubs river. On the north bank
is the modern commercial and residential section of the town, with good shops
and hotels. In the 19th Century, the city became the centre of France's clock
and watch-making, and there's a fascinating 19th Century astronomical clock with
30,000 parts and 73 dials indicating 122 types of information such as seasons,
the time in 16 different places in the world, tides, daylight, times for sunrise
and sunset, and drives 20 automatons. The town is dominated by its spectacular
citadel, built in 1674. The country-side of the Doubs region is beautiful and
peaceful, and Besancon is a good spot from which to explore it.
