There is a bus at 1:20pm or 5pm from Cussey to Besancon This would be a good day for me to drive out in the morning and Andi ride to pick the car up. Or for me to walk out an Andi drive the car to there. Either way. This market is on every day. Maybe have a look at some of the surrounding villages. https://www.besancon-tourisme.com/en/on-the-practical-side/taste/open-air-markets/ Serve the local Gratin specialty Serve the local Gratin specialty Besançon
