Regional council of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Regional council in Besançon, France
The Regional Council of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté is located in central Besançon and serves as the administrative hub for the entire region. It oversees education, transportation, and economic matters across the territory.
This institution was created in 2016 when the former regional councils of Burgundy and Franche-Comté merged into one. The combination was part of a major French administrative reorganization.
The council supports regional initiatives through the construction of the Grande Bibliothèque in Besançon, scheduled for completion in 2028.
The building is located in the city center and is reachable on foot when walking through downtown. Visitors can explore the area and learn more about how the region manages its affairs.
The council maintains working offices in both Besançon and Dijon to represent both sides of the former separate regions. This shared presence shows how both areas are treated as equals after their merger.
