CITY LIVING, THE CHAPRAIS WAY Some apartments reveal their character the moment you step inside. Here, it comes through in the high ceilings, finely crafted woodwork, original parquet floors, and natural light that changes as it moves through the rooms over the course of the day. The apartment occupies the second floor of a 19th-century stone building in the heart of Besançon's Chaprais neighborhood. Behind its recently restored façade, the building has an intimate feel, with just two apartments on each landing and three floors in all. At the rear, a courtyard creates a quieter, more secluded setting and reinforces the residential feel of the property. Much of daily life can be enjoyed on foot, with shops, supermarkets, daycare, and schools nearby in a lively and convenient neighborhood. PERIOD CHARACTER WITH A CONTEMPORARY TOUCH Fully renovated in 2015, the apartment spans approximately 95 m², with original features setting the tone throughout. Parquet floors, moldings and cornices, woodwork, fireplaces, original doors, and stained glass incorporated into the double-glazed windows keep the apartment's history very much present. Carefully chosen patterned wallpaper adds a contemporary counterpoint to these period details. At the heart of the apartment is the 36 m² living and dining room. Facing west, it brings both areas together in a generous space that extends through a French door onto a small balcony.

An individual condensing gas boiler provides heating and hot water, while double-glazed wood-framed windows and mechanical ventilation complete the practical features. The condominium comprises eight owners, all of whom live in their apartments. THE ADVISOR'S PERSPECTIVE ?What I love about this apartment is how naturally everything comes together, with every original detail seeming to be exactly where it belongs. The proportions, parquet floors, moldings, and woodwork give the rooms real depth, while the renovation, carried out with great care and elegance, allows the apartment to work beautifully for contemporary life. The west-facing living and dining room is probably the space that stays with you most: generous, bright, and full of life, it immediately makes you picture spending the end of the day here.'

BETWEEN RIVER, SKY, AND EARTH Perched on the top floor of a contemporary residential building, this exceptional, fully air-conditioned rooftop apartment offers a rare living environment in the heart of Besançon. Spanning 140 m², the rooms are arranged around a remarkable master suite?a true hotel-style suite in terms of its spaciousness and amenities?which opens onto its own balcony. A terrace and a second balcony open up the other living areas to a completely unobstructed panoramic view. With no buildings directly across, natural light floods in generously while privacy remains complete. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail in the finishes attest to a particularly well-executed design. A REFINED SETTING WITH AN EXCLUSIVE DESIGN Designed in collaboration with an architect, the apartment reveals an interior where every detail contributes to the atmosphere of the space. The spacious layout and large windows create a constant interplay with light and the landscape. In the living areas, the oiled smoked oak parquet laid in a herringbone pattern adds depth and warmth. The living room is centered around a generously sized fireplace insert, while the sound system, home theater setup, lighting, and automated windows are discreetly integrated. The master suite is one of the apartment's signature features. Designed like a true hotel suite, it combines a spacious bedroom, a custom walk-in closet, a relaxation area with a Physiotherm infrared sauna, and a large balcony. Its bathroom features a whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower, all within an intimate setting entirely dedicated to well-being. The kitchen and pantry continue this high standard with their matte black lacquered cabinetry, glossy white countertops, and high-end appliances.

Even with comparable amenities, the same apartment located on the other side of Besançon wouldn't hold the same value in my eyes.

The comfort is equally remarkable.

The layout and use of space have also been designed to facilitate movement throughout the apartment while preserving privacy.
