    Very nice place to host a very successful Museum. History of the measure of time through the ages and watchmaking in Franche-Comté is particularly well rendered by beautiful windows and objects cleverly highlighted.

    On 3 floors + the Tower, this museum was the history of clocks, watches, experiments on time but also the history of the building and an exhibition of a cartoonist

    Everything is presented: the operation, the different mechanisms, the representations of time, as well as a beautiful collection of objects (clocks, watches, Comtois, clocks) through the centuries. One speaks also of Besançon, of his "benefactors" etc. etc. Impressive Hall of the tapestries, but you have to love... Very interesting Museum.

    Nice place to see veteran clocks but go with a guide may need it if u don't know french!

    It's almost a time travel walking around the museum. Really good collection. For international travelers there should be English captions. Don't miss the souvenir store in the ground floor.
