Dijon Old Town

Dijon’s old town is a compact area of half-timbered houses, Gothic churches, and the Palais des Ducs de Bourgogne (Ducal Palace, partly free). The Owl Trail (Parcours de la Chouette) is a free self-guided walk marked by bronze owl plaques embedded in the pavement, connecting 22 historic sites in a 1-hour loop. Free. Budget travelers follow the owl trail, visit the Musee des Beaux-Arts inside the palace (free), and eat Burgundian cuisine at market prices.
