Dijon is both a living chronicle of art history and a modern metropolis which holds its own as an important French city. In the past, it was the capital of the great Dukes of the West ; today it is the capital of Burgundy.

Set at the crossroads of Europe, it forms the focal point of all European trends and developments. In this book, Jean-François Bazin (author of several reference works about Dijon and Burgundy and former President of Burgundy Regional Council) and Marie-Claude Pascal (Heritage Curator for Dijon's conservation area, which she so passionately helps to preserve and perpetuate) take you on a tour of Dijon's main sites of interest.
