In this second post dedicated to Besancon we make a visit to the Citadel (UNESCO monument) and its museums, to the genial astronomical clock, the original Museum of Time and the art museum, although under renovation.

Besancon, city of watches (I)
From wines of Alsace to the watches of Besancon. On our way back to Italy we decided to make a stop at Besancon. The city is not particularly famous, popular among the French as the city of watchmakers, in reality it can also boast of being the birthplace of Victor Hugo and the Lumiere Brothers. A good find, do not miss if you are in the area!
Alsace: the wine road
From Colmar I decide to go on a tour of the villages that surround it, following the so-called wine route, though haunted by the bad weather. These villages, scattered among the vineyards a few kilometers of each other, are one nicer than the other and much better equipped to receive motorhomers compared to the capital.
