Mont de Brégille, Limestone summit in Besançon, France
Mont de Brégille is a limestone summit near Besançon, forming one of the seven hills that surround the city. The Doubs River flows at its base.
A military fort was built between 1820 and 1832 to strengthen Besançon's defenses after an earlier fortification failed. This construction was part of the city's strategic renewal.
The old vineyard terraces show how local people once grew wine here, taking advantage of the hillside's good sun exposure.
Walking trails around the hill offer routes of varying difficulty for different skill levels. Parking areas near the base make it easy to start your hike.
A fox cave sits on the mountain slopes, presenting a notable geological feature within this limestone formation. This natural cavity is accessible during exploration.
