The ship tunnel in Besançon is a special tunnel, specially designed for the transport of ships. The tunnel is located under the city and runs through the hill of the citadel of Besançon. It is one of the few tunnels in the world suitable for shipping and is approximately 1.6 kilometers long. The tunnel was built between 1879 and 1881 and is part of the Canal de Bourgogne, a waterway that connects the Yonne and Saône rivers. The tunnel is an important connection for shipping in the region and also attracts many tourists due to its unique character.

This small fountain hidden on the edge of the woods serves as a refuge for three species of protected frogs. I don't recommend filling your bottle there, but you can take some nice photos there.

Suspension bridge initially built between 1893 to 1897 to replace the existing ferry. However, it was cut in two in 1944 during the withdrawal of German troops. The ferry therefore resumed service until 1951, when the bridge was rebuilt on the foundations of the previous one.
