Besançon - Grand Rue
France
Besançon is a city in eastern France, capital of the department of Doubs in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Situated on the banks of the River Doubs, it lies in a horseshoe-shaped meander of the River Doubs, 75 km east of Dijon. The Grande Rue, where this panorama was photographed, is the main street of the city of Besançon, with many notable buildings, and where Victor Hugo was born, at nº 140. A city known for the watchmaking industry, introduced by Swiss refugees in the late 18th century, it is still France's main center in this industry, Besançon is also an important center for textiles and leather. Today, Besançon is the capital of the Franche Comté region, a successful university town that has a beautiful historic centre, Roman remains, two museums and a Renaissance palace. On a high point, overlooking the river Doubs and the city of Besançon, is the great 17th-century citadel of Vauban, a UNESCO world heritage site.

France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor.
