Why go
The Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy makes Dijon's former political importance tangible, while the surrounding historic streets show the city that developed around it. The cathedral adds a different civic and religious scale. A walk between these anchors gives a clearer impression of Burgundy's capital than treating the palace as an isolated façade.
What to look for
- The Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy anchors the historic centre.
- Old streets around the palace preserve the city's Burgundian setting.
- Dijon's cathedral adds a religious landmark to the ducal core.
Useful to know
- Use the palace as the starting point for a historic-centre walk toward the cathedral.
- Check individual palace spaces before planning an interior visit; they serve different functions.
