Art and Culture – And the Morvan Closeby
Small enough to make a most-pleasant change from the hustle and bustle (and volume of people) of Paris, but is big enough to stand up on its own.
Dijon has one of the best preserved medieval centers in France. It is easy to walk and see the sites, with lots of pedestrian walking streets. You'll sample some of France's finest cuisine and drink great Burgundy wines at dinner or at one of the many wine bars in town.
Dijon offers many cultural activities, including a wealth of museums and annual festivals to keep the tourist busy, including the L'Été Musical (Musical Summer), a classical music festival in June.
Dijon's Patron Saint and the Cathedral:
Saint Benignus (Saint Bénigne) is Dijon's patron saint, and the cathedral of Saint-Benigne de Dijon has an interesting crypt to visit, which includes a small rectangular chapel in which the relics of Saint-Benigne were venerated.
The crypt is believed to be one of the oldest Christian sanctuaries in France.
Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne:
Dijon's Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne was home to the Dukes of Burgundy, buildings you see in Dijon starting around 1365. You can visit parts of it, including the Museum of Art, and the fit among you can climb the "Tour de Philippe le Bon" for an impressive view of Dijon. The wonderful Place de la Liberation is across from the palace, where you can sit in a restaurant, wine bar or cafe and view the palace or the interesting fountains, undulating shafts of water that light up at night.
