Restaurant, ancien Pavillon de l'office de Tourisme

The project for the Pavilion of the Tourist Office in Besançon was entrusted to architect Michel Demenge in 1968. Located in Micaud Park near the Pont de la République, the building includes a reception area, offices, a meeting room, and an archive room. The architect opted for a square plan, emphasizing transparency through its glass envelope, drawing inspiration from Mies van der Rohe’s architecture encountered in Berlin. The pavilion is positioned diagonally in relation to the river, utilizing the site's slope to partially embed the meeting and archive rooms below ground level, with the glass reception space situated above this tier.
