Destinations: Dijon

Capital of the Dukes of Burgundy and birthplace of Gustave Eiffel, Dijon is a combination of old and new in a welcoming setting.

Around the former Duke’s Palace (worth a visit), the streets, many of them pedestrian, abound with houses and residences dating back to the 15th and 16th century. Saint-Bénigne Cathedral, Saint-Michael’s Church and the Fine Arts Museum are worth the trip.
