Whether for sightseeing or for getting around, the Voie verte des berges du Doubs in Besançon is a very good option. Following the towpath of the river in a loop around the old town, it offers beautiful views of the city. Starting from the Battant bridge, it leads exactly to the Canot bridge via the Citadelle underpass, the Mazagran footbridge or the Charles-De-Gaulle bridge. It's a pity that the surface is not very smooth and does not allow rollerbladers to progress (cyclists will be fine, however); alternatively, you can take a VéloCité.

Theatre is improvising at ARTI, so let's leave timidité in the closet and start yourself in the arena. A nice practice, good child, that will allow you to develop your relationship with others, your imagination and your trust in you. Words such as weapons, humour for shield, take part in improvisation games, friendly confrontations between two teams, managed by a coach, who improvise on themes drawn out and invented by the arbitrator. You will only have 20 seconds to think, before you start, with your team, on the playground and build a story, sometimes comic, sometimes dramatic or poetic… The public is invited to participate actively in this show, since each spectator has a multi-dimensional voting card which allows him to designate the team that seems to deserve the point at the end of each improvisation. A chausson, distributed at the entrance, allows him to express his dissatisfaction with the players or the referee, a master of ceremonies to prescribe the show. All on a background of music in a passionate atmosphere.
