The Saint-Ferjeux district, in Besançon. Google Maps map.
Saint-Ferjeux forms with Rosemont a residential district in the west of Besançon, home to around 6 600 residents. Its history goes back to the Christian origins of the town: according to tradition, saints Ferjeux and Ferréol, two brothers sent to evangelise Besançon at the end of the second century, settled in a cave in the area. That past makes Saint-Ferjeux an old place of memory, rooted in the religious identity of the town.
The Saint-Ferjeux basilica, in Romano-Byzantine style, dominates the district with its domes. Its foundation stone was laid in 1877 and the building was completed at the turn of the twentieth century, to plans by the architect Alfred Ducat. Around that landmark, the district grew into a residential fabric marked by a strong presence of detached houses and small blocks, in a peaceful atmosphere. The Rosemont-Saint-Ferjeux community centre gives life to the local scene.
Sought after for its quiet residential setting and its good access to the centre and the employment areas, Saint-Ferjeux sits at the top of the core of the Besançon market.
