Historic Landmarks of Dijon
Explore the architectural legacy of the former capital of the Dukes of Burgundy. This collection features soaring Gothic cathedrals, the 18th-century Porte Guillaume triumphal arch, and numerous "hôtels particuliers"—grand private mansions often topped with Burgundy's signature glazed-tile roofs.
