[2024 Dijon Attraction] Travel Guide for Place de la Liberation (Updated Oct)

A day visit to Dijon 🇫🇷

#francetrip I just got back from a fantastic trip to Dijon, France, and I can't stop raving about it! 🥂 Dijon is the capital of Burgundy, and it's famous for its mustard, wine, and beautiful medieval architecture. We started our day in the heart of the city, exploring the Place de la Libération, with its stunning fountains and views of the Palais des Ducs. The entrance fee to the Ducal Palace was just €4.50, and it was worth every cent to see the beautiful art and historical exhibits. 🏰 Next, we visited the Musée des Beaux-Arts, located right in the palace. The museum was free, and it had an incredible collection of European paintings and sculptures. From there, we walked down the cobbled streets of the old town, stopping by Les Halles market to sample local cheeses, charcuterie, and, of course, the famous Dijon mustard! 🧀🥖 For lunch, we tried a traditional Burgundy dish called boeuf bourguignon at a cozy bistro, paired with a glass of local Pinot Noir. It was absolutely delicious! 🍷 In the afternoon, we climbed the Tour Philippe le Bon (entrance fee €3.50) for a panoramic view of the city, which was breathtaking, especially with the sun setting over the rooftops. 🌇 Dijon is also the starting point of the Route des Grands Crus, so we took a short drive to the nearby vineyards, which were beautiful even in winter. If you’re a fan of history, culture, and amazing food, Dijon should definitely be on your travel list. Can’t wait to go back! #trip #Dijon #Burgundy #FrenchCuisine #WineLover #TravelFrance
