Origin and history
The house located at 38 quai Vauban in Besançon is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1933. This building is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected by arrest, as well as its link to the roadway and adjacent dock. Its inscription is part of a larger heritage complex, including remains of the Besançon urban enclosure, which were classified in 2019.
The house is associated with the Citadel and the fortifications of Besançon, a military architectural complex emblematic of the city. The protected elements in 2019 include vestiges of ramparts, bastioned towers (such as those of Rivotte and Brégille), as well as 18th century guard corps, illustrating the strategic importance of the city throughout the centuries. These recent protections underline the desire to preserve the material traces of Besançon's defensive history.
The precise address of the house, 38 quai Vauban, is confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates. The monument is located in the Doubs department, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté region, and its Insee code (25056) attests to its anchoring in the municipality of Besançon. The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note of 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about its exact location or geographic boundaries.
Although the practical information on his visit or current use (rent, guest rooms) is not specified, the house remains an architectural testimony related to Besançon's military planning. Its inclusion in the Historical Monuments reinforces its role in local collective memory, particularly in the context of the Vaubanian fortifications, classified as UNESCO World Heritage for some of them.
The protection of 2019 specifically concerns buried or partially visible remains, such as the bezel of Brégille or the ramparts between the bastions. These elements, though fragmentary, offer an overview of the fortification techniques used from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, during which Besançon was a coveted stronghold. The house of the Quai Vauban is thus part of a wider network of defensive heritage, now valued for its historical and tourist interest.
