The Brasserie du Commerce in Besançon City

Sunday is not an easy day in France to find lunch outside of the home kitchen and if one finds oneself in the Province (meaning NOT Paris), things can complicate. I arrived on a weekend in Besançon in the Franche-Comté Region and due to hunger, we went strolling in the city looking for early lunch without much luck but a few bistros were opened for breakfast - and we came across this one in Rue des Granges. It looks like a classic parisian bistro and the setting reminds me of the belle époque with its high decorated ceiling, art-deco settings and tall wall mirrors (the brasserie was established in 1873). We didn't have the opportunity to try the lunch but were content with a hot cup of chocolate as the cold and windy weather did not really feel much like summer here...
