The Dijon City Guides answer the questions that come up on every visit: where to eat a proper boeuf bourguignon, which free museums deserve your morning, how to reach the wine villages by train and where the night goes after the kir. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, telling you why a place is worth it, what to order or look for and one useful tip, and it opens in your browser right after you pay.

Three places from the guides
Restaurant Chez Léon
Rue des Godrans, two minutes from the Halles
Checked tablecloths, a heated terrace and a menu that has hardly moved in years: snails, eggs poached in red wine, coq au vin and the house bourguignon. Leave room for the tarte tatin. From the food guide.
Lac Kir
West edge of the city, bus 12 from Place Darcy
The city’s own beach: soft sand, a roped-off swimming area watched by lifeguards in high summer, pedalos and a flat path round the water for bikes and scooters. Free, and a full day out without leaving Dijon. From the family guide.
Château du Clos de Vougeot
Vougeot, train to Vougeot-Gilly then a walk through the vines
A 12th-century wine estate built by Cistercian monks in the middle of a walled grand cru, with four giant oak presses inside. Half the pleasure is the walk there between the rows of vines. From the day trips guide.
Play the game, then keep exploring
World City Trail’s Dijon scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. The guides carry on from there: lunch at a classic Burgundy table near the market hall, a glass of Côte de Nuits in a stone cellar, a train to the wine villages or a free museum when it rains.
