A quick tour of Besançon (1)

For the past week, the weather here has been chilly and windy (average around 12 in the morning and 16 in the afternoons) and so, there weren't that many sorties or promenades in the ville. Here's a pictorial...

 A trompe l’œil, someone painted a cat on the corner of a street...


The deserted city hall in the wee hours of the morning...

 Church along the Doubs river with typical Alsatian flavours...

In the horizon is the Carnot University Residence.





 A fancy tea house (French interpretation) on the corner of a street. 

 The array of fanciful jugs that goes with every table served. The ambiance has kinda Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatter feels to it...

Name of the street...

 Another charming one at the corner of another street: this one is called Ludo.

 Delicious looking basket of meringue....


Artisanal nougats for the sweet tooth...

House of C. Cailler - a bakery that sells high quality bread and artisanale pastries. The shop was dated to 1904 till today (as in its shop window).

Pastry is the hallmark of French excellence and can be found in every street but they are never cheap...
