Mustard, Dukes and Medieval Secrets self guided tour of Dijon

Overview

In 1513, 40,000 Swiss soldiers surrounded Dijon. The citizens carried a mysterious wooden statue through the streets, and two days later the army vanished. Centuries later, the Germans did the same. This self-guided audio tour walks you through the streets where these stories unfolded. From the original Maille mustard boutique to a gingerbread factory dating back to 1796, this is Dijon told through its flavours, scandals, and secrets. You'll learn why 80% of the world's "Dijon" mustard is actually made from Canadian seeds, touch the legendary Owl and hear the ghost story behind the tradition, and step inside the Ducal Palace museum for a narrated walkthrough most visitors miss entirely. No fixed start time, start when you want and pause for a wine tasting in Eiffel-inspired market hall.

Church of Our Lady: "Twice in history, Dijon faced certain destruction. Twice, the citizens turned to a mysterious wooden statue. Twice, the enemy left. Coincidence?"
