Circuit terre Mancenans

In Mancenans, in the Doubs, Circuit Terre Mancenans sets up its track right next to Baume-les-Dames, in the Doubs valley. The site sits in a rural setting typical of central Doubs : green valley, Franche-Comté bocage, the first foothills leading toward the first Jura plateaus. It's an address valued by Besançon and Montbéliard residents heading out with friends and by motorsport enthusiasts from the French Jura basin.

The layout offers a course suited to different practice levels, in the semi-rural setting typical of inland Doubs. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver profile, from entry-level models to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. Conditions shift with continental Franche-Comté weather : faster and drier in summer, more demanding on rainy and cold autumn or winter days. The site stays accessible for amateur drivers and regularly hosts club sessions, stag and hen parties, and friend days.

Mancenans is 25 minutes from Baume-les-Dames, 45 from Besançon, and 30 from Montbéliard. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: Baume-les-Dames and its medieval centre, the Doubs valley and its meanders, the Saint-Vincent abbey of Besançon, the UNESCO-listed Besançon citadel (Vauban), the Réclère caves, or a detour to Belfort and its lion or Montbéliard and the Peugeot museum at Sochaux. A coherent karting option for Franche-Comté drivers looking for a semi-rural setting halfway between Besançon and Montbéliard, in an atmosphere oriented toward enthusiasts.
