Day 1: Arrival in Dijon
Your hotel is situated in the heart of Dijon. Check-in, presentation of the tour, and delivery of the bicycles. Dijon is a vibrant, walkable city with a wealth of great shops, restaurants and bars and a really welcoming vibe to it. There are many museums, churches, and traditional buildings to discover including the Palais des Ducs and the Church of Notre Dame. We suggest you follow the ‘Owl’s Trail’ which highlights 22 key points of interest in the city. Legend has it that if you want some good luck you need to find the tiny stone sculpture of the owl at the Notre Dame church – touch it with your left hand and make a wish!
