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!

What a wonderful way to spend an evening. Sipping a glass of wine in one of the many outdoor cafes, watching the children enjoy the fountains. Delightful.

If you are in the Dijon area on one of the market days, this is a must-see, and simply a must-buy if you are cooking at home. In addition to all the meats and standards, this market has a surprising (to me) array of seafood items, given the distance from Dijon to the sea. If you love good, fresh food, this is heavenly.

A wonderful example of the art noveau style. Outstanding service made using the postal service to mail back a parcel a pleasure.

This beautiful 18 century gate was once part of the city walls. One one panel is a commemorative plaque to Thomas Jefferson.
