    The "Le Vauban" boat - guided tours of the historic centre from the river. The main route follows the Doubs loop and lasts around 1 hour 15 minutes. It offers unique views of Vauban's fortifications and the Citadelle, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

    The itinerary includes passing through two locks and the river tunnel dug under the Citadel mountain. The fleet consists of bateaux-mouches equipped with panoramic terraces and indoor lounges.

    An ideal complement to the boat tour: discover Besançon's old town on the Petit Train touristique. Save €2 with the twin ticket (boat + little train).
    Groups on request. Meal cruises on board and show cruises by prior arrangement.
