Dijon
Dijon offers visitors a city centre completely reserved for pedestrians. Half-timbered houses, Romanesque and Gothic churches, and 17th and 18th century mansions majestically punctuate the medieval streets of the former capital of the Dukes of Burgundy.
Dijon is the capital of the large Burgundy-Franche-Comté region in the east of central France and an excellent cultural destination. The city bears the label “Ville d’art et d’histoire” (City of Art and History) and has a 97-hectare protected sector. This part has now been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the “Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne”.
The Must-sees of the trip
- Discover the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du VinThe International City of Gastronomy and Wine is the new flagship destination since 2022 to celebrate the French way of life. It aims to tell and bring to life the values of the Repas gastronomique des Français (French art of gastronomy) and the Climats du vignoble de Bourgogne (Burgundy winegrowing landscapes), recognised by the Unesco.
- Visit the Musée des Beaux-Arts de DijonThe Museum of Fine Arts of Dijon, housed in the west wing of the Dukes’ Palace, has been extensively restored over the last ten years. A completely renewed museography and contemporary extensions offer visitors a new experience centred around the 1500 works of art on display.
- Caress the owl of Dijon and make a wishWho in Dijon doesn’t recognise the owl of the Notre-Dame church? Approach the owl sitting on one of the chapel’s buttresses and caress it with your left hand so that it will grant you a wish!
