Dijon Essentials

Dijon, the historic seat of the Dukes of Burgundy, is defined by its well-preserved medieval and Renaissance architecture. This collection highlights the city's core landmarks, including the grand Palace of the Dukes and the symmetrical Place de la Libération. Key sites include the Gothic Church of Notre-Dame with its famous owl sculpture, the panoramic Tower of Philippe le Bon, and the iconic glazed-tile roofs of the Hôtel de Vogüé. From the 19th-century Les Halles market to the triumphal Porte Guillaume, these locations showcase the city's heritage as a regional power.
