Before 3pm on 22 July, 2024, my wife and I arrived here. My wife had booked the 3pm guided tour to climb the Tour Philippe Le Bon. I meant to wait for my wife here, as a stranger asked me for money moments ago. As my wife asked me to explore the whereabouts were the toilets, I walked around and found it in the end as the indication wasn’t conspicuous. But then another stranger asked me for money… Very polite and kind people who even helped us get a wine tasting tour. Nothing was forced upon. We were lot of about where to go and what to eat. Also, a very well designed map and trail in Dijon. Zero idea of how to legally fish in France or at all. I don't care about the prettiest and most expensive place in town, I want info how to be a legal and not obnoxious visitor. Don't buy map for owls for 4 euro. At every step are official arrows on side walks. All is on the internet. I feel ripped off Here we paid for a nice tour of the tower with a great view, for only 6 euros per person. Took about 40 minutes including watching the view without any talk. The center is in a nice building with a little chapel. The chapel had a really ugly piece of 'art'. Friendly people there also. Staff in the center gave guidance about the places to visit. Incredibly disappointed by the recommendations given here. The brunch recommended was 27 euros and the worst meal I’ve ever had in France. Furthermore, the (4 euros) German translation of the guidebook has whole paragraphs cut out!! iam a little frustrated over this information. i needed to charge my batteries which was only possible if i stood next to the battery for hours, makes no sense. i ve seen other offices in france offering better service and participation than this one. Thank you to the kind lady who recommended the fabulous second hand clothing shop Ding Fring. I went and got a whole new French wardrobe. Amazing! I'm writing a review for the recommended parcour de la chouette, but the Office is very good, they had maps in a lot of languages and spoke English, so our bad french didn't get in the way. About the town, oh my god, I can't recommend it enough! Free entry museums, very well indicated spots and of course, the moutarde shops, which were a treat! The free museums were the beaux arts, in the town centre, and the natural history museum, in the botanical garden near the station. If you follow the parcour de la chouette, you won't miss it. We were there on a Saturday, in a day trip from Lyon, and it wasn't very packed with tourists, maybe the rainy weather scared some of them away. I definitely recommend getting a ticket for the Tour Philippe le Bon in advance though. We went to the Office as soon as it opened, but there weren't any spots left for the whole day. The visit was nice even without the view, though. Don't miss the chouette in the notre dame church! You have to rub it two times for luck. Lovely staff. Got lots of good advice and ended up making Dijon mustard in a local workshop. Great fun Very good market tour with Sarah who explained about history and gastronomy in Dijon. Please note visit was in French. Very helpful and the people who work there will provide you with options of experiences and tours that will help to elevate your trip to Dijon. I usually never visit a tourist’s office (usually opting to do my own research), but this office helped me set up a mustard-making class (offered in English!) and a self audio guide that I really enjoyed. I definitely recommend coming here if you have a short time in Dijon and want to know the best things to do.
