Activity itinerary

Porte Guillaume (Pass by)
Begin at the impressive Porte Guillaume, an 18th-century triumphal arch located on Place Darcy and built on the site of a former 12th-century gate. Erected in tribute to the Prince de Condé, Governor of Burgundy, it serves as a symbolic entrance to the historic centre.
Orange (Pass by)
Continue along Rue de la Liberte, the city’s main pedestrian street leading into the Old Town. Lined with elegant architecture and historic facades, it opens onto Place Francois-Rude and notable 15th-century buildings such as the Maison aux Trois Visages and the Hôtel Milliere.
Place de la Liberation (Pass by)
Proceed to Place de la Liberation, the historic heart of Dijon. Formerly known as Place Royale in honour of Louis XIV, the square is now a lively gathering place centred around his equestrian statue.
Tour Philippe le Bon (Pass by)
Nearby stands the Tour Philippe le Bon, a 45-meter tower built between 1450 and 1460. Once a watchtower and later a symbol of ducal authority, it offers panoramic views of the city after climbing its 316 steps.
Church of Our Lady (Pass by)
Pass by the remarkable Church of Our Lady of Dijon, a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture and part of Dijon’s UNESCO-listed heritage. Its distinctive flat façade, the statue of Our Lady of Good Hope, the Jacquemart clock, and the famous owl carving make it one of the city’s most beloved landmarks.
Palace of the Dukes (Pass by)
The Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne can be called the Palace of the Dukes and Estates of Burgundy in English. It was a royal residence, hosting the estates of Burgundy. In the present day, it houses the town hall and the Musée des Beaux-Arts. The Palais is made of several areas. The oldest part is the stunning Gothic palace of the Dukes built in the 14th and 15th centuries. But the façade of classical style you will look at is from the 17th century. The Palais is impressive and well-preserved! It became an important landmark of Dijon with the Eglise of Notre-Dame.
Musee des Beaux-Arts de Dijon (Pass by)
The tour continues to the grand Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne, once the residence of the Dukes of Burgundy. Today, it houses the Town Hall and the renowned Musee des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, one of France’s oldest and richest fine arts museums.
Eglise Saint-Michel de Dijon (Pass by)
Conclude at Eglise Saint-Michel, a 16th-century church celebrated for its striking Renaissance façade blended with Gothic elements and Italian artistic influence — a fitting finale to Dijon’s architectural journey.
