During the 14th and 15th centuries Dijon was one of the great cities of Europe, under the rule of the Dukes of Burgundy. Even to this day it feels like a bustling modern city - despite the very high number of fine medieval buildings to be found in the city. It is a clean, pleasant city and an enormous pleasure to visit, as much for the atmosphere and environment as any specific sights.

The main street running through the town is the Rue de la Liberte, and most of the places you will want to see are either along that road or nearby. There are plenty of fine shops and restaurants to detain you, but the main points of interest are:

- The Duke's Palace, and the adjoining Place de la Liberation

- The streets and region around the cathedral

- The Notre Dame region (just north of the Place de la Liberation) with its fine houses

- The region south of the Place de la Liberation

Markets are held on Friday and Saturday, so these would be the ideal days to visit Dijon.

Dijon is of course famed for its mustard, and the surrounding region is just as famous for its fine wines. Last but not least the region came up with creme de cassis, which you will know from the drink 'kir' (if you don't know it, take 1 part cassis, pour on 4 parts cold white wine - enjoy as an aperitif on a hot summer evening).
