The Dijon scavenger hunt starts at the Garden of the Bells and passes through Porte Guillaume to Saint-Bénigne Cathedral and Place François Rude. You continue to Place de la Libération, the Palace of the Dukes and Estates of Burgundy with its Museum of Fine Arts, Place des Ducs and the Church of Notre-Dame, finishing at Les Halles, the covered market.
The 10 stops cover about 1.8 km, roughly 25 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Dijon was the capital of the Dukes of Burgundy, and their palace still frames the semicircular Place de la Libération, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Around it, the compact old town mixes half-timbered houses, colourful glazed roofs and the Church of Notre-Dame, with its rows of gargoyles and the small carved owl that locals touch for luck.
A game makes you spot those details instead of rushing past, and the stories explain what you just saw, from the dukes to Gustave Eiffel, who was born here. Everyone plays on their own phone, with no schedule.
