- Ducal Palace: At Place de la Liberation you’re greeted by the home of the Dukes of Burgundy in the 14th and 15th centuries, now the town hall. If it doesn’t look like it’s from this time that’s because the building has been in use by the city ever since, and was extended in the 17th century by Jules Hardouin-Mansart,, who was responsible for the Grand Trianon at Versailles. He also designed Place de la Liberation, and if you look between the two classical porticoes you can see the renaissance Tower of Philip the good poking up between. This is the oldest part of the building visible from the square, and dates to the 1450s. If you’re up for climbing more than 300 steps you’ll have the ultimate view of Dijon as your reward.
- Dijon Cathedral: Dijon’s Gothic cathedral was completed in the 15th century but has plenty of architecture that is several hundred years older.The thing to see before you go inside is that marvelous Burgundian patterned roof. You have to pay a couple of Euros to go into the cathedral’s crypt but it’s well worth the price, as you’ll be entering the oldest part of the church. This is from the 1000s and was the underground part of an abbey built to shelter the tomb of the 4th-century Saint Benignus.The design was intended to resemble the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.
- Dijon Archaeology Museum: Right next-door to the cathedral is Dijon’s archaeology museum, set in the main wing of the former abbey. It holds the coveted “Musée de France” label, and deals with human activity in Burgundy from prehistory to the middle ages. Because of its wonderful setting Christian art and architecture take prominence in the exhibition, so you can wander around the 13th-century Monks’ dormitory and go into the crypt’s dark tunnels. On level two is the Bronze Age Treasure of Blanot, which is a set of bronze and gold jewellers and tableware. Also look out for the Rocheport bracelet, made of solid gold and weighing 1.3kg.

Go inside to see the extravagant interiors and the Museum of Sacred Art, and to ascend the north tower for one of Lyon’s best photo ops. The church is the focus for the famous Fête des Lumiere's, which takes place at the start of December every year. This is in praise of the Virgin Mary, to whom Fourviere is dedicated, for protecting the city from the bubonic plague in the 17th century.
- Next Visit Traboules: In Vieux Lyon and La Croix-Rousse Saône is an architectural feature unique to this city: Traboules are delightful renaissance passageways, some 40 of which are open to the public, running beneath buildings in the direction of the Saône River. They gave the city’s silk workers direct access to riverbank, making it quick and easy to transport textiles, while also offering shelter from the elements.
- Later Visit to an almost Island- Presque-isle: A finger of land between the Rhône and Saône, Presqu’île was man-made by a humungous 18th-century urban engineering project, draining marshes and connecting what was once an island with dry land. It’s where most things “happen” in the city, a district of glorious 19th-century architecture, wide plazas, shops, cultural institutions, restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs. Lyon’s opera house and city hall are located here, while if you’re peckish Rue Mercière is basically one long line of superb restaurants. If you’re here for the shopping, start at the pedestrianized Rue de la République where all the high-street brands await. Nearly all of these passageways are part of residential properties, so it’s a good idea to go quietly. The best place to start your adventure is around Quai Fulchiron Rolland and Rue des Trois Maries.
