Only saw the sign by chance and the visit turned out to be one of the highlights of our holiday. When we approached the door was locked and we thought the place might not be open, fortunately someone soon arrived to let us in. People are shown round in very small groups. There are so many exhibits that there isn't room for more than a few people at a time. Although its' title is Costume Museum it is much more than that. The building itself is a great surprise and as well as the costumes it is full of interesting pictures, furniture and ornaments. We were shown round by one of the sisters who own the collection and she answered all of our questions and went out her way to make the visit enjoyable and very interesting. An absolutely wonderful place!

This 22-stage trail is designed not only to give you a taste of Dijon's charm, but also to take you back in time and show you the history of our town. Each numbered stage takes in a place of interest, and the whole trail can be covered on foot in about one hour. If you feel like finding out more about Dijon, this trail proposes 3 different loops: the Rousseau loop, the Zola loop and the Moses loop. But there's no reason to hurry! Take your time and enjoy the friendly atmosphere in the many museums, galleries, shops and cafés terraces!

We came o Dijon on a rainy day and instead of soaking wet wandering is streets went to Beaune and returned to Dijon in the afternoon right after the rain stopped. Although most sites were either closed or closing we still enjoyed the Owl's walk and most of the old town. It took us about 5 hours.

There is a tourist trail that takes you to all the relevant parts of this really old town - you follow the triangles set in the pavement. We didn’t have much time but will certainly be returning- what a town!

Tickets are timed; easy to make reservation at the tourist office. The climb is led by a member of the tourist office staff; they stop several times along the climb to give a bit of history and point out architectural details. When we reached the top the 360 degree view was stunning, and we did not at all feel rushed to get our pictures and then climb down. Great way to spend 45 minutes!
