Besançon Franche-Comté TGV

Besançon Franche-Comté TGV station opened on 11 December 2011 on the LGV Rhin-Rhône high-speed line, positioned north of the Besançon urban area as one of two purpose-built stations on that route. Its most distinctive feature is an ecological building certification: 75 percent of the station's energy demand is met from renewable sources, a notable achievement at the time of construction. For travelers it functions primarily as a transit hub, with shuttle connections to Besançon city center rather than attractions of its own.
