The Doubs loop
The river nearly circles the old town, creating a clear oval that defines the whole composition and makes the city instantly recognisable.

Besançon Map Poster & Print
Besançon has one of the most striking sites in France. The river Doubs bends in an almost complete circle, and the historic centre fills the inside of that loop. From above, the medieval and classical streets form a dense oval surrounded by water. The only gap in the loop is guarded by a steep rock, and a citadel stands on top of it.
The citadel was built by Vauban in the seventeenth century and is now part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing of his fortifications. Its walls and bastions appear on the map as sharp angular lines against the curves of the river. Across the water, newer districts climb the surrounding hills of the Jura foothills, and bridges link them back to the loop.
A Besançon map poster centres on that loop, a shape anyone who knows the city recognises at once. Besançon is the birthplace of Victor Hugo and of the Lumière brothers, and it has a long history as a centre of French watchmaking. On paper, the river loop and the citadel make the city an easy choice to frame.

Vauban citadel
Angular bastions crown the rock at the neck of the loop, geometric lines placed against the curve of the river.
Bridges and hills
Bridges connect the historic centre to neighbourhoods on the surrounding slopes, where streets wind upward in looser patterns.
