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. If you'd rather explore Dijon at your own pace with real stories, this walking tour fits. Over 20,000 travellers have used our self-guided tours, and every booking comes with a full refund guarantee.

Itinerary

1. Jardin Darcy: "A young boy, sickened by Dijon’s foul water, made a promise that would transform the city forever. The proof is hidden beneath this very park."

2. Delve into the fascinating transformation of Porte Guillaume from a medieval gateway to a triumphal arch honoring historical figures. You'll also discover the intricate reliefs that tell the story of Dijon’s past and its ties to the Prince of Condé.

3. La Boutique Maille: "How did one man’s decision to swap vinegar for unripe grape juice create the most famous mustard in the world? Step inside the boutique where it all began in 1845."

4. You'll discover the charm of François Rude Street, with its medieval and Renaissance architecture, and learn the story behind Bareuzai Square's iconic wine-harvester statue.

5. Dijon Market Hall: "A building inspired by Gustave Eiffel, who was born right here in Dijon. Inside: snail cake (yes, really), the best organic breads, and cheeses you won’t find anywhere else."

6. 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?"

7. The Owl of Dijon: "Nobody knows where it came from. Nobody knows why people touch it. But there’s a ghost story from the 17th century that might explain everything."

8. Hôtel de Vogüé – Step into a courtyard where colourful tiles were fired three times and a monogram hides two marriages.

9. Explore Saint Michael's Church, a unique fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles, and uncover the inspiring story of Saint Elisabeth of the Trinity, whose profound faith continues to touch hearts.

10. Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne – Weigh the ambitions of dukes who controlled more territory than the French king himself.

11. Climb the 316 steps of the Tour Philippe Le Bon to experience breathtaking views and delve into the legacy of Burgundy’s most powerful Duke. Discover the secrets behind this iconic tower and the prestigious Order of the Golden Fleece.

12. Explore the Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne, Dijon’s Gothic masterpiece, where stunning stained glass, intricate carvings, and a centuries-old crypt reveal the city’s spiritual and architectural heritage.

13. Mulot & Petitjean – Smell gingerbread made the same way since 1796, in a recipe that uses no milk and no butter.

14. Archaeological Museum of Dijon – End your walk in a monks' dormitory turned museum, where Roman burial stones line the underground vaults.

15. Edmond Fallot – Meet the last mustard house in Burgundy that refuses to use Canadian seeds.

16. Au Vieux Millésime – Sip wines from vineyards first mapped by monks who walled off individual plots to study the soil.
