Travelling to Besançon
You can reach Besançon by TGV train. Consult the TGV timetable. However, the TGV station is outside of the city and you will then need to take a bus to reach the town center. If possible, we advise that you rather take a train arriving at the Besançon-Viotte station, which is much closer to the center. Consult the SNCF website.
