Dijon is a remarkable city because it has been preserved 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, the great dukes of Burgundy; the Renaissance, reflected in the splendour of the parliamentarians' mansions; and Art Nouveau, with its inventive decorations. The aim of this discovery trail is to take you through these different periods.
