Tour Itinerary
Start on Dijon's main shopping street, lined with buildings classified as Historic Monuments and dating from the 15th to 18th centuries. Place Grangier opens up a view of the Hôtel des Postes, built in 1907 in Louis XVI style on the former site of the Château de Dijon.
Arrive at Place Darcy, where the Guillaume Gate stands as one of the twelve gates that once enclosed the medieval city. The adjoining Darcy Garden, completed in 1880, sits above a large underground reservoir built in 1838 by engineer Henri Darcy.
Saint-Bénigne began as a monastery in 871 and was rebuilt as a cathedral in the 11th century by Guillaume de Volpiano. Nearby, Saint-Philibert is the only Romanesque church in Dijon, raised after the great fire of 1137 and once the parish of the local winemakers' community.
The Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy stands as the central landmark of Dijon, tied directly to the history of France through centuries of ducal rule. The adjoining Museum of Fine Arts, founded in 1787, ranks among the oldest and most substantial collections in the country.
Notre-Dame Church, a masterpiece of 13th-century Gothic architecture, is the oldest church in Dijon and stands a short walk from several remarkable medieval mansions. One of these, built between 1552 and 1558, was commissioned by a councillor at the Parliament of Dijon.
Place François Rude, built in 1905 in honor of the sculptor born nearby, brings the route to a lively residential square. Close by, the grand theater of Dijon had its foundation stone laid in 1810, with construction interrupted by the fall of Napoleon's Empire and resumed only in 1823.
