With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Dijon, 19 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be La Toison d’Or Shopping Center, Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy and Dijon Cathedral. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Chalon-sur-Saone, 20 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Abbaye de la Ferte. (But we’re also huge fans of Musee Denon and Chalon Cathedral.)
