What to expect
Your guide meets you and charts a route through Dijon's best architectural and culinary landmarks. You'll spend time inside the ducal palace studying the tombs, then move to a private noble house where period furnishings set the scene for 17th-century daily life. Notre-Dame's exterior and interior reveal medieval craftsmanship. The second half shifts to taste: wandering a market of local food producers, sampling Burgundy specialities (sausages, terrines, cheeses), and finishing with wine. Pacing is relaxed and informative; your guide contextualises each stop.
