The Citadelle de Besançon is a Vauban fortress listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, located in Besançon in the Doubs. It houses three museums labeled "Musées de France": the Musée comtois, dedicated to dialogue between cultures and societies; the Muséum, which presents varied animal spaces and focuses on biodiversity; and the Museum of Resistance and Deportation, designed as a civic tool for history. The site also offers various activities, including treasure hunts, escape games, and guided tours. The Citadelle functions as a global heritage space combining visits to the Vauban monument and access to these three museum institutions.
