The Velotte district, in Besançon. Google Maps map.
Velotte stretches to the south of Besançon, on the banks of the Doubs, and is the smallest district in the urban area, with fewer than 2 500 residents. Until 1950, Velotte was an independent village, before it was attached to the town. The district has kept a peri-urban and rural character, appreciated by its residents: few large blocks, a strong presence of detached houses and a local life organised around the riverside.
Backing onto the wooded hills of Rosemont and Chaudanne and bordered by the Doubs, the district enjoys a remarkable aspect and a green setting. The riverbanks are the living heart of the district, popular for walks. At the transition between town and countryside, Velotte has been given a neighbourhood square, quickly adopted by residents, with a play area and a space to relax, which reinforces its village spirit.
Sought after for its riverside setting and its village identity, Velotte sits at the top of the Besançon market. Supply there is largely dominated by detached houses, which makes it a rare and prized area.
