What to expect

Once you've received your unique code, install VoiceMap and log in. The app plots a route to your starting point with turn-by-turn navigation. Plug in headphones and begin when ready—there's no fixed start time. As you walk, audio cues guide you between stops, revealing details about each façade, courtyard, and staircase you encounter. The narration assumes no prior knowledge but respects your intelligence. You'll move at walking pace through Dijon's medieval and early-modern quarters, pausing as long as you wish at any spot. Roughly 60–75 minutes if continuous; longer if you linger.

Good to know

Bring a smartphone with headphones and ensure VoiceMap is downloaded before setting out. The app's offline mode means no data charges. Some interior courtyards may require polite entrance; external views are freely accessible. Public transport links nearby if you need to reach the starting point. Pushchair-friendly routes throughout.
