Viewpoint

Fort de Planoise straddles the municipalities of Besançon and Avanne-Aveney. As such, it offers beautiful views of the two towns, including a window on the Avanne mill.

The fort itself is a set of fortifications organized on the foothills of the hill with a central building at the top. By walking the paths of the hill, you will be able to discover many vestiges.

Cabordes de Velotte

Highlight • Monument

The Cabordes are dry stone houses that were once used by winegrowers. Winemaking has played an important role in Besançon since the Middle Ages. On this side of the Rosemont hill there are two of these houses, both listed as heritage sites and renovated in recent years (2015 and 1027).

Fort de Chaudanne

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Chaudanne is at the top of the eponymous hill.
If it cannot be visited, you can however go around it and appreciate its fortifications as well as the trench which surrounds it.
The fort is in a preserved natural environment and offers many viewpoints over different areas of the city, including the loop (the historic center).
Chaudanne is also a place of choice to admire the Citadel from its full length.

Several options are available to you to get there: by road from the Velotte district, or by the forest path from the Chemin de Mazagran.

Fort de Rosemont

Highlight • Historical Site

The Rosemont Battery (Fort de Rosemont) is a 19th-century military building consisting of six guns hastily constructed during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to support the Planoise and Chaudanne positions. However, this war did not affect the city and subsequently the battery was never used for military purposes, even during the Second World War. (wikipedia)

Highlight • Other

From the glacis (sloping ground in front of a fortification) of Fort Rosemont, you will have the pleasure of admiring the very clear view of the Planoise hill.
