We needed a place near my cousin's flat and this loft checked the box. We were pleasantly surprised beyond expectation at the architectural jewel we encountered. The location is perfect for transport into the old town, groceries and bakeries. It is quiet, bright, and comfortable. You feel like you are dipping into a bit of the French vie quotidian. We walked to the restaurants in the old town every day plus the river activities are just a couple of blocks away. The hostess has set up a very straightforward process for check in and out and was available through out for questions about the loft and about Besançon et environs. We loved it.
