History
Dijon was the seat of the Dukes of Burgundy; its medieval and Renaissance center preserves civic buildings and carved stonework from that prosperous era.
Conservation
The historic center is protected—stay on public routes, avoid touching fragile stonework, and support local shops rather than feeding wildlife to reduce impact.
