 Dijon
is known overseas mainly for its mustard. Located in the center of the CĂ´te
d'Or, it's the ancient capital of Burgundy. Here, good food is accompanied
by great wine. 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 restored. 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. |
