At Place de la Libération you’re greeted by the home of the Dukes of Burgundy in the 14th and 15th centuries, now the town hall. If it doesn’t look like it’s from this time that’s because the building has been in use by the city ever since, and was extended in the 17th century by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, who was responsible for the Grand Trianon at ...
On the north side of the Church of Notre-Dame is Dijon’s symbolic owl, sculpted in the 1500s. The stone has been buffed shiny by centuries of people touching it for good luck and making a wish. Strictly you should do this with your left hand when you pass it on your left hand side, or your wish won’t come true. The owl is the inspiration for a 22-s...

They had spent decades at auctions buying art they admired, whether or not a famous name had created it. So you have a won...
In the middle of the old centre, this 13th-century gothic church has a design that resembles few in France. The flat western facade is most unusual of all, with a large porch made up of three arches on the lower level. On the two levels above are rows of columns, each row bordered by a long line of gargoyles representing monsters, animals and also ...
The Arquebusiers were a company of soldiers that trained and lived on this site in the centuries up the late-1700s, at which time their final captain laid an English-style garden. At the start of the 19th century it was turned into a botanic garden and now has more than 4,000 plant species. The idea is to acquaint you with all the plants that are n...
Located in the Jardin des Sciences, the Natural History Museum is in the former barracks of the Arquebusiers, dating to 1608.

Dijon’s gothic cathedral was completed in the 15th century but has plenty of architecture that is several hundred years older. The thing to see before you go inside is that marvellous Burgundian patterned roof. You have to pay a couple of Euros to go into the cathedral’s crypt but it’s well worth the price, as you’ll be entering the oldest part of ...
Right next-door to the cathedral is Dijon’s archaeology museum, set in the main wing of the former abbey. It holds the coveted “Musée de France” label, and deals with human activity in Burgundy from prehistory to the middle ages. Because of its wonderful setting Christian art and architecture take prominence in the exhibition, so you can wander aro...
