After leaving the Chateau de Joux, we traveled on to Besançon to visit the Citadelle. It is a huge fortress built by Vauban, who was a military engineering genius. The Citadelle now has three museums, a zoo, an aquarium and many more attractions. Frank is standing by the large well that supplied water to the fortress. When we walked up the ramp to enter, we looked down in the dry moat and saw baboons and gazelles. We especially enjoyed the museum dedicated to the French resistance during World War II.
