ECO-TOURISME INNOVATION

I'm writing a review for the recommended parcour de la chouette, but the tourist Office is very good, they had maps in a lot of languages and spoke English, so our bad french didn't get in the way. About the town, oh my god, I can't recommend it enough! Free entry museums, very well indicated tourist spots and of course, the moutarde shops, which were a treat! The free museums were the beaux arts, in the town centre, and the natural history museum, in the botanical garden near the station. If you follow the parcour de la chouette, you won't miss it. We were there on a Saturday, in a day trip from Lyon, and it wasn't very packed with tourists, maybe the rainy weather scared some of them away. I definitely recommend getting a ticket for the Tour Philippe le Bon in advance though. We went to the tourist Office as soon as it opened, but there weren't any spots left for the whole day. The visit was nice even without the view, though. Don't miss the chouette in the notre dame church! You have to rub it two times for luck.

The Tourist Information Center Dijon is well worth stopping into when you arrive. The staff are very friendly and bilingual, which made getting oriented easy and stress-free. We picked up the Owl Trail (Parcours de la Chouette) brochure here. It costs €4, but it’s absolutely worth it. The Owl Trail itself is a lovely, self-guided walk around town and a great way to get to know Dijon. It took us a couple of hours at a relaxed pace and really helped us absorb the city and its landmarks. A very worthwhile experience and a great starting point for exploring Dijon.

Here we paid for a nice tour of the tower with a great view, for only 6 euros per person. Took about 40 minutes including watching the view without any talk. The tourist information center is in a nice building with a little chapel. The chapel had a really ugly piece of 'art'. Friendly people there also.

Before 3pm on 22 July, 2024, my wife and I arrived here. My wife had booked the 3pm guided tour to climb the Tour Philippe Le Bon. I meant to wait for my wife here, as a stranger asked me for money moments ago. As my wife asked me to explore the whereabouts were the toilets, I walked around and found it in the end as the indication wasn’t conspicuous. But then another stranger asked me for money…

Tours organized by Office du Tourisme in Dijon are great! I highly recommend the Dijon Decouverte tour. Guides are extremely knowledgeable and you will learn tons of information and anecdotes. It's a great way to start discovering Dijon. Now regarding service at the Office, it can be a bit chaotic. There's no indication on where tours start (usually in front on the building) and guides don't always make a clear announcement before departing. So please make sure to arrive a few minutes early to scout the location.

Incredibly disappointed by the recommendations given here. The brunch recommended was 27 euros and the worst meal I’ve ever had in France. Furthermore, the (4 euros) German translation of the guidebook has whole paragraphs cut out!!

Staff in the information center gave guidance information about the places to visit.

Very helpful information and the people who work there will provide you with options of experiences and tours that will help to elevate your trip to Dijon. I usually never visit a tourist’s office (usually opting to do my own research), but this office helped me set up a mustard-making class (offered in English!) and a self audio guide that I really enjoyed. I definitely recommend coming here if you have a short time in Dijon and want to know the best things to do.
