Overnight stops with a mini-camper 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.

Is it easy to drive and park in Besançon?

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.
