   • Ducal Palace. At Place de la Libération you’re greeted by the home of the Dukes of Burgundy in the 14th and 15th centuries, now the town hall. If it doesn’t look like it’s from this time that’s because the building has been in use by the city ever since, and was extended in the 17th century by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, who was responsible for the Grand Trianon at Versailles.
   • Musée des Beaux-Arts. Also inside the Ducal Palace is Dijon’s Fine Arts Museum, which was founded in 1787 and conveys the wealth and opulence of the Dukes of Burgundy.
   • Parcours de la Chouette. On the north side of the Church of Notre-Dame is Dijon’s symbolic owl, sculpted in the 1500s. The stone has been buffed shiny by centuries of people touching it for good luck and making a wish.
   • Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne. With a lovely home in the cloister of a 17th-century Bernardine Cistercian monastery, this ethnographic museum presents rural life and city life in Burgundy from the 1700s to the start of the 1900s.
