Origin and history

The house at 8 quai Vauban in Besançon is a listed historical monument, whose facade, roof, pavement and wharf were protected by decree of 16 September 1933. This building is closely linked to Besançon's military and urban history, notably through its association with the Citadelle and the fortified city walls. The protections also extend to remains of ramparts and bastioned towers, reflecting the strategic importance of Besançon throughout the centuries.

In 2019, a new decree extended the protection to additional elements of the urban enclosure, including remains buried in counterscarps, ramparts, and 18th-century guard corps. These protections cover specific parcels, such as those located avenue de la Gare d'Eau or rue Elisée Cusenier. The house and its surroundings thus illustrate the evolution of Besançon fortifications, from medieval ramparts to more recent developments.

Although the practical information on current visits or uses (rent, guest rooms) is not specified, the exact location of the monument is documented: 8 quai Vauban, in the Doubs department. The accuracy of this location is assessed as fair, with an address confirmed by GPS coordinates and the Merimée base. This monument is part of a larger architectural and historical complex, marked by the Citadelle, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
