Best Luxury Hotels In Dijon
It’s famous for traditional mustard production, but Dijon is also one of the country’s most prolific wine-making areas. Situated in the Burgundy region, this medieval city was (five centuries past) the Duchy’s capital. On the road connecting Lyon and Paris, it makes for an ideal stop off en route, or as a destination in its own right. Flanked by the Côte d’Or hills, the historical centre is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, where visitors can take in some top-notch gastronomy, vineyard tours, fascinating architecture and the 18th-century Musée des Beaux-Arts. And to make your trip all the more special, book one of these grand and historic hotels.
