Parking and getting around in Dijon

Find out where to park in Dijon, both in the city centre and near the main attractions.

On-street parking

In Dijon, on-street parking is subject to a charge from Monday to Saturday, from 9.00 am to 12.30 pm and then from 2.00 pm to 7.00 pm. It is free between 12.30 pm and 2.00 pm, on Sundays and on public holidays.

Two types of parking spaces are available:

  • Short-stay spaces: mainly located in the city centre and near shops and places of interest. Parking is limited to 2 hours to encourage turnover.
  • Long-stay spaces: located on the outskirts of the town centre and in peripheral areas; visitor parking is permitted for up to 8.30 am.

Payment is made at parking meters or via mobile parking apps. In the event of non-payment or exceeding the time limit, a post-parking charge may be applied.

Indoor car parks

Whether you’re planning a longer visit, a meeting or a business trip, covered car parks offer a convenient solution right in the heart of the city. Dijon Métropole has nine covered car parks, with a total of around 3,450 spaces.

A single night-time rate applies in all nine metropolitan car parks between 7.00 pm and 7.30 am.

PRM parking

Holders of the Mobility and Inclusion Cardmarked ‘Parking’ are entitled to free on-street parking in Dijon, provided they display the card clearly behind the windscreen.

Dijon Métropole has fitted its car park network with charging points for electric vehicles, located in particular in public car parks and on-street parking spaces.
