Dijon is known overseas mainly for its mustard. Located in the center of the Côte d'Or, it's the ancient capital of Burgundy. Here, great wine accompanies good food. Between meals, you can enjoy the art and architecture.
Your first impression, especially if you arrive at the rail station, may be misleading. You may think Dijon is a dreary modern city. But press on to its medieval core. Many old streets and buildings have been res tored. The mayor, François Rebsamen, was elected on a platform that mixed aspects of socialist, communist, and Greenpeace rhetoric. He is committed to the verdancy of Dijon.
