Besançon, a free and imperial city, experienced a period of peace and prosperity under the government of Emperor Charles V, which was favourable to the development of the arts.
The presence in Besançon of illustrious men, friends of the emperor, and art lovers such as Nicolas and Antoine de Granvelle, favoured the introduction into the city of the artistic revival characteristic of the 16th century.
In the heart of the Loop, discover our beautiful 16th century houses.
