DUPLEX APARTMENT ABOVE THE ROOFS OF BESANÇON
Located in the heart of Besançon's historic centre, this duplex is set within a period building. It has been completely redesigned by its architect. The redesign prioritises light, spaciousness and generous living areas, offering beautiful views. Every element has been crafted by skilled tradespeople using high-quality materials, with a focus on harmony to create a cohesive whole. The windows frame views of hundreds of Comtois rooftops, notably Vauban's citadel and the River Doubs. The two south-facing open terraces extend the space outwards and complement this architectural style. This duplex apartment in Besançon embodies an approach where design, spaciousness, light and practicality come together.
A HOLISTIC DESIGN DRIVEN BY DETAIL
The apartment was designed as a coherent whole, conceived from the outset in terms of its volumes, circulation and materials. The living area is organised around a largely open central space, where light flows freely through the floor-to-ceiling windows and roof openings. The Greek white Calacatta marble flooring complements this pursuit of light and continuity, with a soft, mineral presence. Upon entering, a stained-glass window handcrafted in a workshop in Chartres introduces a palette of graduated blues.
Prominently displayed, a staircase?a unique piece?rises to provide access to the mezzanine. Created by designer Roger Tallon, a leading figure in French industrial design, it unfolds its helical form. The bubbled crystal light fittings by Raak cast a focused, vibrant light thanks to touch-sensitive controls that adjust the lighting. Textiles by Clara Lander lend a softer, more subdued feel. The mezzanine, meanwhile, extends the spaces and supports their various uses, with a direct connection to the outdoor areas.
THE TERRACES AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT
Usually rare in city centres, these terraces here extend the interior spaces. Meticulously designed, they incorporate irrigation, lighting, power sockets and evergreen vegetation that gives structure to the space throughout the year. They become a living space in their own right, combining cooking, relaxation and everyday activities. Set within the roof structure, they sit set back whilst offering unobstructed views of the city: the quays, the Tour de la Pelote, the Church of La Madeleine, the Citadel and the museum all feature in the landscape.
Access is direct from the mezzanine, creating a seamless flow. Two steps connect the terraces, without interrupting the flow of movement. The lines remain understated, the floors mineral, the vegetation discreet. Together, they form a structured outdoor space that is easy to live in. Here, one can dine, garden, or simply relax at different times of the day. An integrated outdoor space, in tune with the rhythm of the city.
A LOCATION ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF BESANÇON
Located on Quai Vauban, the apartment is part of an iconic architectural complex.
The River Doubs, the aligned and listed façades, and the proximity to cultural institutions all contribute to the identity of the location. The neighbourhood supports a fluid daily rhythm, with shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. The Citadel and the historic fabric place the development within a heritage context. This address strikes a balance between urban presence and an elevated position, offering a different perspective on Besançon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
AGENCY'S OPINION
This property is part of a holistic design approach, where every element finds its place within a coherent whole. The signatures of designers and craftsmen, the use of materials and the relationship with the outdoors create a lived-in, precise and unique space. The terraces extend this connection with the city.

Haussmann-style flat in the historic centre of Besançon Located on one of the liveliest pedestrian streets in the historic centre of Besançon, this Haussmann-style flat exudes an atmosphere characterised by spacious rooms, soft natural light and preserved architectural details. The mouldings, antique parquet flooring and high ceilings convey a certain idea of urban elegance, whilst the large windows open up a view of the city's stone façades. Together, they create a refined interior where every room interacts with the light and rhythm of the old town. A home that embodies a sensitive and inspired urban lifestyle. THE SPIRIT OF A CHARACTERFUL APARTMENT The apartment is part of the great tradition of urban interiors that have stood the test of time with their elegance intact. From the moment you enter, a sense of space emerges naturally. The spaces are generous, the perspectives fluid, and light flows gently between the different rooms. The delicately moulded cornices, the old doors and the parquet floors all contribute to this refined atmosphere, which immediately evokes the spirit of Haussmann-style apartments. The living room opens up as a breathing space, a place where light accompanies the gestures of daily life. The large windows draw the eye towards the city, letting in light that shifts throughout the day. The living room and dining room flow naturally into one another, creating the perfect continuity for entertaining and fully embracing the seasons. The separate kitchen follows this same balance between conviviality and privacy. The bedrooms extend this sense of quiet comfort. They offer generous proportions, a soothing atmosphere and a gentle connection with the outdoors. Some rooms invite rest, others reading or work, always bathed in the diffused light that characterises well-oriented period flats. A separate suite completes the layout and opens up various possibilities for use, from family life to entertaining guests. A BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN THE HEART OF THE OLD TOWN In the historic centre, the outdoors begins in the relationship between the flat and the city that surrounds it. From the windows, the stone façades, roofs and ironwork form a lively urban landscape. The main floor offers a privileged vantage point from which to contemplate the city and fully enjoy its rhythm. The street becomes a lively and elegant backdrop to daily life. A terrace discreetly extends the apartment outwards. It offers the precious pleasure of opening up the living space to the open air in the heart of the old town. This space naturally becomes an intimate setting for everyday life. The space invites you to savour the moment. The building itself contributes to this sense of balance. The stone façade, the classical proportions and the overall quality reinforce the feeling of living in a timeless home. The building fits seamlessly into Besançon's historic architecture and reveals a harmonious continuity between heritage and contemporary life. The exterior thus becomes a natural extension of the apartment. It complements life with delicacy and offers an urban respite that enriches daily life. THE PRIVILEGE OF A HISTORIC ADDRESS Living in the historic centre of Besançon invites you to embrace a deeply human urban rhythm. The pedestrianised streets encourage a stroll, the historic façades tell a story, and the local shops enrich daily life. The apartment is part of this subtle balance between heritage and contemporary vitality. Every outing becomes an urban experience. Markets, cafés, bookshops, galleries and terraces punctuate the days with natural elegance. The city is best explored on foot, through its streets and squares, offering a new perspective at every turn. Besançon possesses that quality of historic cities that blend heritage with dynamism. Stone dialogues with modernity, historic architecture complements a rich cultural life, and the surrounding landscapes provide an immediate sense of breathing space. The city gradually reveals its nuances through the seasons and on walks. AGENCY'S OPINION Certain properties have a special presence. This flat is one of them.
