Breakfast at the Hotel. Check-out; relax in your coach as we drive to Dijon which is a capital city of the historical Burgundy region in eastern France. Ducal Palace: At Place de la Liberation you’re greeted by the home of the Dukes of Burgundy in the 14th and 15th centuries, now the town hall. If it doesn’t look like it’s from this time that’s because the building has been in use by the city ever since, and was extended in the 17th century by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, who was responsible for the Grand Trianon at Versailles. He also designed Place de la Liberation, and if you look between the two classical porticoes you can see the renaissance Tower of Philip the good poking up between. Dijon Cathedral: Dijon’s gothic cathedral was completed in the 15th century but has plenty of architecture that is several hundred years older. The thing to see before you go inside is that marvelous Burgundian patterned roof. You have to pay a couple of Euros to go into the cathedral’s crypt but it’s well worth the price, as you’ll be entering the oldest part of the church. This is from the 1000s and was the underground part of an abbey built to shelter the tomb of the 4th-century Saint Benignus. The design was intended to resemble the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. This is the oldest part of the building visible from the square, and dates to the 1450s.
