Exclusive Walking Tour of Dijon
Situated in the Côte-d'Or department and not far from the source of the Seine, Dijon stands out as one of the most picturesque cities in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. Are you ready to delve into its captivating past with a personal guide? We’ll begin our journey at Porte Guillaume.
Your adventure commences with a gaze at this 18th-century triumphal arch located in Place Darcy. As we set off on our private exploration of Dijon, we’ll stroll along Rue de la Liberté, the main pedestrian thoroughfare, where you’ll encounter striking timber-framed houses, including the remarkable Maison aux Trois Visages.
Our itinerary then leads us to Place de la Libération, the vibrant core of Dijon's historical district. Here, we will admire the exterior of the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy and the renowned Tour Philippe le Bon, an iconic structure that dates back to the mid-15th century.
Next, we will visit the Church of Notre-Dame, an outstanding example of French Gothic design. We’ll take a moment to appreciate its prominent features from the outside, including the Notre-Dame de Bon-Espoir statue, the Jacquemart clock, and the famed La Chouette, an owl said to grant good fortune.
To conclude our 2-hour walk, we’ll finish at the Church of Saint-Michel, notable for its breathtaking Renaissance façade, a highlight of our guided excursion through Dijon.
