By vehicle type in Besançon
When to rent an alcove motorhome in Besançon
The climate is genuinely continental: Haut-Doubs winters are among the coldest in France and snow lingers above 900 metres. From June to September the valleys and viewpoints are at their best; autumn paints the Loue valley superbly, and the Vauban citadel commands the loop of the Doubs in every season.
Overnight stops with an alcove motorhome around Besançon
The Haut-Doubs and the shores of the Jura lakes, Saint-Point first among them, strictly regulate overnight parking, but the municipal aires of the Comtois market towns fill the gap easily. France Passion farms, often Comté cheese producers and village dairies, make delicious staging posts on the plateaux between Besançon and Pontarlier.
Driving a mini-camper in Besançon: size, parking, restrictions
The Doubs loop encloses a narrow centre: leave the van at the tram park-and-ride lots and walk up to the citadel — the access ramp is steep and parks badly. Jura roads are wide for the region, with winding combes towards the waterfalls; snow is possible from October to April on the plateaus.
