Dijon

July 12, 2024

Dijon is the capital city of the historical Burgundy region in eastern France, one of the country’s principal wine-making areas. It’s known for its traditional mustard, vineyard tours, autumn gastronomic fair and building styles ranging from Gothic to art deco. In 2015, Unesco registered the historical centre of the city as a World Heritage site, as one of the components of the 'Climats, terroirs of Burgundy' site, because of its historical importance in regulating the system of wine production in Burgundy. Dijon embodies the political regulatory impetus that gave birth to the climats system.
