Famous Landmarks
Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy
47.3220°N, 5.0415°E
The Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, residence of the powerful dukes from the 14th to the 15th century, is the monumental heart of Dijon. The 46-meter Tower of Philip the Good offers panoramic views over the city and vineyards. The palace now houses the Fine Arts Museum, one of the oldest and richest in France.
Church of Notre-Dame
47.3220°N, 5.0415°E
The Church of Notre-Dame, a jewel of 13th-century Burgundian Gothic, is famous for its facade adorned with false gargoyles and the owl carved into its north wall — a lucky charm that locals touch with their left hand. Its jacquemart, an automaton clock gifted by Philip the Bold, has struck the hours since 1383.
Tower of Philip the Good
47.3220°N, 5.0415°E
The Tower of Philip the Good, built in the 15th century, rises 46 meters above the Ducal Palace. Its 316 steps lead to a panoramic terrace offering a 360° view over Dijon's glazed rooftops, the Saône plain, and the first slopes of the Côte de Nuits. Duke Philip the Good entertained his most illustrious guests there.

Gifting a star map of Dijon means celebrating a memory at the heart of Burgundy. Whether it was a wedding amid the Côte d'Or vineyards, a first date under the lucky owl, or a starlit tasting on the Route des Grands Crus, every Dijon moment deserves its firmament. A gift as generous as Burgundian gastronomy.
The sky of Dijon
Located at 47° north latitude at the crossroads of Burgundy, Dijon enjoys a semi-continental climate with dry winters ideal for stargazing. Winter nights are among the clearest in eastern France. The dimly lit wine hills of the Côte d'Or provide remarkable sites for contemplating the starry sky.
