AN ELEGANTLY REIMAGINED APARTMENT IN BESANÇON On the second floor of a characterful building in Besançon's Chaprais neighborhood, this 95 m² apartment combines Haussmannian influences, natural light, and original period details to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Restored in 2015, it retains its original parquet floors, moldings, woodwork, fireplaces, and high ceilings. The spacious west-facing living and dining room opens onto a balcony, while two bedrooms and a versatile third room allow the layout to adapt to different needs and stages of life. A private cellar and attic provide additional space, in a neighborhood where shops, daycare, and schools are all within easy walking distance. 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. As the afternoon unfolds, light moves across the parquet, highlighting the moldings, large built-in cupboards, and decorative details. The separate kitchen is fully fitted, with a layout that remains in keeping with the character of the apartment. Throughout the home, restored original cupboards blend seamlessly into the woodwork and form an integral part of the interior architecture. A LAYOUT THAT ADAPTS TO EVERYDAY LIFE A central hallway connects the rooms with an easy, natural flow. Two well-proportioned bedrooms measure 13 and 15 m², while a third room can evolve with changing needs, serving as a child's bedroom, home office, or dressing room. Between the two main bedrooms are a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet with a hand basin. A storage room on the landing provides additional storage, while a private cellar and attic, each approximately 15 m², offer further space. The building's former washhouse now serves as a spacious shared bicycle room, preserving a subtle connection to its past. 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.'

On the second floor of a small, private building, this 147-square-meter space plays on the contrast between classic elegance and the unexpected. From the moment you enter, the dining room sets the tone: warm wood paneling and period moldings sculpt the space. Opposite, the living room extends its perspective around an antique fireplace and timeless parquet flooring. To the left, the kitchen flows into a first bedroom and its adjoining bathroom. The true signature of the space lies between the dining room and the living room: a secret passage, concealed within the decor, leads to a separate, independent area. Upstairs, the landing provides access to two further bedrooms, a bathroom, and a toilet. This adaptable retreat, designed as a separate haven for teenagers or as a rental property, can be combined or separated as desired thanks to access to the shared staircase.

CHARACTERFUL, RENOVATED APARTMENT IN PONTARLIER Located on the first floor of a stone building constructed in 1924, this 125 m² apartment combines the charm of its location with a decidedly contemporary style. Fully renovated, it stands out for its clean lines, high-quality materials, and light tones with delicate shades. The 40 m² living room, facing southwest, forms the heart of the home. Three bedrooms, including a master suite with an en suite bathroom, create a comfortable sleeping area. An elegant and natural way to live in Pontarlier, with the city just a stone's throw away. A LOCATION IN TUNE WITH PONTARLIER Here, life begins right at the building's doorstep. From Rue Saint-Anne, you can explore Pontarlier on foot, passing by shops, restaurants, schools, and popular gathering spots. A decidedly urban location, deeply rooted in the daily life of the Haut-Doubs region. Inside, the decor takes on a different character. The 125 m² of living space, complemented by a total floor area of 138 m², offers magnificent proportions. The layout prioritizes fluidity and gives each room a clearly defined function. The understated and refined atmosphere is equally suited to family life as it is to a couple wishing to enjoy downtown life without straying far from Switzerland.

The rooms flow seamlessly into one another, inviting residents to enjoy simple moments: preparing dinner, entertaining guests around the table, lingering over a conversation, or admiring the sunset over the rooftops. The choice of materials, the balance of tones, and the attention to detail create a soft, minimalist atmosphere. A COMPREHENSIVE RENOVATION The renovation, completed in 2026, addressed both aesthetic and technical aspects. The double-glazed wooden window frames, interior insulation, electrical system, and heating were all updated. The gas-fired heating system, distributed via radiators, ensures optimal thermal comfort. The sleeping area includes three bedrooms?one of which is a master suite?two bathrooms, and two fully equipped walk-in closets. A basement rounds out the features and provides additional storage space. The apartment is located in a three-story building. This urban setting offers exceptional access to the landscapes of the Haut-Doubs region. Lake Saint-Point, the Château de Joux, the Larmont Mountains, and Métabief provide easy access to the surrounding hills and mountains. The nearby Swiss border also gives this location a unique geographical setting, blending cross-border daily life with mountain vistas. THE AGENT'S OPINION ?What I appreciate most about this apartment is, above all, the atmosphere it exudes. The renovation was carried out with great care, using high-quality materials and a true sense of aesthetics. The spaces are spacious, light floods the rooms, and the whole place exudes a very natural elegance. I also really appreciate its connection to Pontarlier. You just have to step outside your door to have everything within easy reach: shops, restaurants, schools, and all the routines that make up everyday life. For me, it's this blend of a beautifully designed interior and authentic urban life that gives this place its unique character.'

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 elevator opens directly into the apartment, and the home automation system allows you to control the heating, air conditioning, alarm, lighting, blinds, and doors. The layout and use of space have also been designed to facilitate movement throughout the apartment while preserving privacy. It is this combination of location, design quality, and the level of finish that, for me, truly sets this apartment apart. Mathieu Ardenghi Condominiums of 198 units (No proceedings in progress).

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 apartment in Besançon Hidden from view at the back of an 18th-century mansion, this Haussmann-style apartment has a rare presence. Here, the city center feels intimate, almost hushed. The rooms are impressive without being overwhelming, the high ceilings set the tone, and the old parquet floors and fireplaces recall a time when architecture was as much about status as it was about lifestyle. Completely redesigned to meet contemporary needs, this space combines the restrained splendor of the past with the comfort of a high-quality renovation. An apartment with character, for those looking for more than just an address: a living experience. An interior shaped by history The apartment is organized as a series of living rooms, designed for both entertaining and privacy. The spacious and structured living areas offer a clear interpretation of the volumes, where each perspective finds its breathing space. The old floors, moldings, woodwork, and fireplaces interact with a contemporary, precise, and never ostentatious design. Natural light glides along the walls, highlighting architectural details and accompanying the rhythm of the day. Here, nothing is decorative by chance: each element contributes to a solemn yet warm atmosphere, where one can imagine both large gatherings and the calm of a chosen daily life. In the more intimate spaces, the bedrooms extend this feeling of seclusion and serenity. The flow of movement is fluid, designed for comfortable, uninterrupted living. The fully equipped kitchen has a modern, understated style that blends perfectly with the spirit of the place. A rare balance between heritage and practicality, without compromise. The backyard as a refuge Located at the back of the courtyard, the apartment enjoys a unique location: protected from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet anchored in its lively heart. This backyard, characteristic of Besançon's mansions, creates a precious distance from the street. Here, time is perceived differently, slower, more hushed. The views open onto the surrounding architecture and the Citadel, a discreet but constant reminder of the history of the place. Here, there is no spectacular garden, but a rare feeling of seclusion in the city center: that of living in a preserved space, originally designed to last. This location reinforces the feeling of exclusivity. The apartment does not reveal itself immediately; it is something to be discovered.
