About this property
L'Atelier de l'Horloger - 6 pers - 2 parkings - near 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 neighborhood 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 jewelry 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.
**Why do our guests trust us?**
**The exceptional location**: a 5-minute walk from the Viotte train station. You get off the train, walk a few minutes, and you’re home. The tram takes you to downtown in just a few minutes.
🌿 **Peace and quiet**: Set in a private courtyard, the house offers a haven of peace in the heart of the city. You’ll sleep peacefully, far from the noise.
⚡ **Modern Comfort**: Completely renovated in 2024 with a heat pump and full insulation. You’ll sleep peacefully, summer and winter alike
🛏️ **The perfect space**: 2 bedrooms (1 queen bed + 2 single beds) + 1 EMMA sofa bed in the living room. Perfect for 4 to 6 people. Families love the travel crib, high chair, and changing table, which we provide upon request.
