A place to unwind!
A pristine site in the heart of the Jura Mountains!
Set in a 15-hectare hilly park in Nancray, just outside Besançon, the Musée des Maisons Comtoises invites visitors to stroll, contemplate, explore, and make new discoveries.
A place surrounded by nature
The park offers an environment that’s perfect for stepping away from everyday life and reconnecting with nature. Awaken your senses in the vegetable gardens or in the herb garden, which is arranged around its gazebo. Take a deep breath by the pond, sitting under a tree… Explore nature along a trail, in the woods, or in the orchard, and follow in the footsteps of the site’s wild inhabitants.
Animals in the park
The museum takes on the feel of a small farm, with sheep, donkeys, chickens, and more roaming the park’s pastures and pens—living in the great outdoors!
A park to take a walk in!
The park’s rural setting—with its trees, pond, groves, and woodlands—makes the museum a wonderful place to take a stroll in nature. Adult and children’s wheelchairs are available at the reception desk to assist with the tour.
A place to play in nature
The park offers a wide range of outdoor activities for people of all ages.
