Dijon, France

My dad recently moved to the mustard capital of France for his new job.
I went to visit but unfortunately forgot to take any photos during our road trip around the famous Burgandy region vineyards.

Here are a few snaps of Dijon itself, which is a beautiful city with lots of interesting architecture (medieval, renaissance, gothic...), and very friendly locals (especially after a long time in Paris!)

I'm really looking forward to going back and visiting the cathedrals, the opera house, and spending some more time in those vineyards... 


Place Wilson

Gargoyles




Medieval staircase



I think I need to start an "Ugly Medieval Statues" tumblr



Cours Général de Gaulle



The big man-made lake


Oh and for the musicians, I also saw the organ that Jean-Philippe Rameau played in Notre Dame de Dijon Church (with no photographic evidence).
