The Champs Bruley cemetery is a municipal cemetery located in Besançon (France) between the Chaprais, Bregille, Clairs-Soleis and Vaîtes districts. Opened in 1793 and still active as of 2019, it is the oldest burial ground managed by the city.The cemetery, when constructed, was intended for use by any inhabitant of the area. Because it did not have a nearby Catholic church, and also because the site has an uneven topography and was viewed at the time as being isolated, the predominantly Catholic Bisontin community did not use it. This led to it being viewed as a burial ground for "undesirable citizens": The sick, condemned prisoners and non-Catholics. Over time, it was seen as a de facto Lutheran-only burial ground and in 1824 was officially designated as a Lutheran cemetery, following the construction of the Chaprais Cemetery. It became the official cemetery for parish burials until the neutrality laws of 1881. Although it is now legally available to people of all religions, the Champs Bruley remains a predominantly Lutheran cemetery.

Cras is a district of Besançon located to the east of the city. Its name comes from the Franche-Comté "Cra" which means "crow".

In the 19th century, a rich Jewish family (the Lippmans, founders of the LIP company) bought the house and transformed it into a luxurious villa. Since then, the castle of Clementigney has been known as the castle of the Jewish. From 1850 to 1870, the architect Alphonse Delacroix reconstructed the building in Gothic Revival style. Beginning in the 1920s, the villa accommodated a famous restaurant, up until the early 21st century. Today, the castle is a residential building.
