Heritage Days

In the heart of the city, the Palace of the Dukes and Estates of Burgundy embodies Burgundy’s historical power. It is home to the Dijon Museum of Fine Arts, one of the oldest and most extensive museums in France, as well as the Chapelle des Élus, an 18th-century gem with an intimate charm.
It is the ideal venue to anchor your event in Dijon’s identity: a guided tour, a cocktail reception, a cultural exploration or an immersive experience centred on the history of the Dukes of Burgundy.
Rising above the rooftops of Dijon, the Philippe le Bon Tower, at a height of 46 metres, offers a spectacular panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. Built in the 15th century, it evokes the splendour of the Dukes of Burgundy and provides a memorable experience for your guests.
It can be incorporated into a welcome programme, an exclusive tour or a sightseeing activity ahead of a meeting or evening event.

Moses’ Well
|
At the Chartreuse de Champmol, the former burial ground of the Dukes of Burgundy, the Well of Moses is regarded as one of the masterpieces of European medieval sculpture. This site offers an artistic and spiritual retreat, just a few minutes from the city centre.
It is a particularly suitable stop on a private cultural tour or a seminar outing focusing on Burgundian art, history and heritage.
Dijon is home to numerous private mansions, inner courtyards, chapels and lesser-known monuments that tell the story of four centuries of history. These venues offer more intimate and exclusive experiences, far removed from the standard tourist itineraries.
For a corporate group, they make a real difference: a bespoke tour, a reception in an unusual setting or an exclusive experience reserved for your guests.

Choosing Dijon means offering your participants far more than just a venue for a meeting: it means giving them the chance to experience a destination where the history of the Dukes of Burgundy, the architecture, the cuisine and the wines of Burgundy are in constant harmony.
The Dijon Bourgogne Convention Bureau can help you incorporate these venues into your programme: guided tours, heritage experiences, team-building activities, dinners or receptions in iconic settings.
First meeting to establish the Convention Bureau at the Grand Hôtel La Cloche on 2 December 2022.
