The Hôtel-Dieu is a former hospital founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, and his wife, Guigone de Salins. It is only when you step into the main courtyard that you see the flamboyant roof with varnished tiles, a shining symbol of ducal Burgundy and now world famous. A classified historical monument : Take an audioguide and let Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins walk you through the unique history and day to day life of the Hôtel-Dieu, from the 15th century to the present day!

Took the tour of the museum, here in this small and charming town. The building is well preserved, stunning, painted roof tiles, a lovely courtyard and replicas of the hospice inside the museum. Very interesting how people were cared for, after a war, the sleeping areas, medical treatment and kitchen can all be seen in the museum.

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.

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!

We took the Patriarche Tour when we were in Beaune. We have toured the Alsace and the Champagne Regions and this was our first foray into this region. This was an excellent introduction and we did buy some wine and had it shipped to our home. This is a large cellar with very good wines and an excellent introduction for anyone who is looking for an introduction into Burgundy wines. The tour is informative and well done. You visit the caves and get a sense of the larger producer facilities which are all over Bourgogne. Good choice.

My husband and I visited the tasting room on the recommendation from several other travelers and were very pleased. We wanted whites and we were served some of the best on the trip! If you are lucky you will have Yannick be your host! Call ahead to confirm they are available. You can book a tour of the cellars or just a tasting. Our tasting of four whites was free - they gave a white Grand Cru that we were lucky enough to try and it was the BEST Chardonnay I’ve ever tasted.
