The best photos of Dijon aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Palais des Ducs and Notre-Dame de Dijon will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out The Owl Trail for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
The historic capital of Burgundy, known for its medieval architecture, mustard heritage, and exceptional food and wine culture.
