Go there and contact
First large building in Franche-Comté. It was erected from 1534 to 1540 under the initiative of Nicolas Perrenot, the closest adviser to Charles Quint (the architect still remains unknown). The facade repeats the overlapping of orders: doric, ionic and corinthian and the palace anchor in the European tradition of Renaissance, despite a few Gothic outbreaks such as windows bays. A rythme courtyard rhythm the interior of the palace decorated with a extant decor and a gallery worn by sink arches called "en". Granvelle Palace, a building that has been able to withstand the time for today, ironically, shelter the Museum of Time. It is no coincidence that the weather is celebrated in Besançon. In the th century, the besancon city became the capital of French watchmaking. You will find in the collections of the museum the city's watchmaking fund, with, among other things, prestigious watches (special mention at Leroy 01, centrepiece of the museum, which has required 7 years of work and whose movement consists of 975 pieces) and contemporary clocks, passing through the famous LIP and a Eddy clock.
