L'Atelier de l'Horloger - Sleeps 6 - 2 parking spaces - near the train station

Welcome to a place steeped in history.

This bright, 80-square-meter house is more than just a place to stay. It’s located in the historic Chaprais area of Besançon, in a private courtyard. It was here that Gérard Mantion founded the Maty company in 1951 at the age of 24. He started out as a watchmaker before Maty became a well-known jewellery store in the region.

Imagine yourself in the morning, sipping your coffee in what was once a local watchmaker’s workshop, with natural light flooding every room. This house was completely renovated in 2024, blending the spirit of the past with modern comfort.
