About Muséum de Besançon
The Museum de Besancon lives inside Vauban's citadel above the city, a UNESCO World Heritage fortress that also holds the Musee comtois and the Musee de la Resistance et de la Deportation. Its animal side is spread across an aquarium, an insectarium, a noctarium, a small farm and a zoological garden, and it has specialised for years in breeding threatened species: 56 conservation programmes and six reintroduction projects, with close to 90 per cent of the animals shown bred within European or international programmes.
Among them are the stone crayfish and the Rhone streber, both critically endangered French freshwater species bred for release, the European hamster and harvest mouse, the northern bald ibis, crowned sifakas, greater bamboo lemurs, golden lion tamarins and geladas.
