Sunday, walking in Besançon

Quai Strasbourg, Besancon

Sometimes I forget how pretty this place is.  A day spent admiring the architecture in Besançon’s historic center is a good cure for that.

Much of Besancon is built of blue and beige Chailluz limestone

What’s this? A new opening on the Quai!

Many buildings from the 17th century are still standing

Typical Bisontine window arches

Beautiful glazed tilework

I love this pop of color!

Mosaic tile dome of Chapelle Notre Dame du Refuge

Thank you for the flowers!
