A bridge linking the north and the south: the 242-km-long Burgundy Canal connects Migennes on the Yonne to Saint-Jean-de-Losne on the Saône. The idea of crossing the Burgundian hills by water dates back to 1490, but work was not commissioned until 1774 by Louis XVI. It was not until 1833 that the canal was fully opened to navigation. It has 189 locks.

Departure from Dijon (Côte-d'Or)
Some towns have a ‘symbolic’ animal: the lion in Belfort, an imposing statue; the frog in Salamanca, much harder to find… In Dijon, it’s an owl, which I suggest you try to find on this city centre walk. Here’s a clue: the bird is carved onto an ancient monument. The legend goes: place your left hand on the owl and your right hand on your heart, make a wish, and it will come true. But first, you’ve got to find the animal…

Dijon is a remarkable city, shaped by its history. Since its Gallo-Roman origins (3rd century), three major periods have shaped this city: the Middle Ages, with its churches; then the Valois, Grand Dukes of Burgundy; and the Renaissance, reflected in the splendour of the parliamentarians’ mansions; and Art Nouveau, with its inventive decorations. The aim of this discovery walk is to take you through these different periods.
