A Taste of Dijon : Culinary Day Trip
Overview
Just 1.5 hours from Paris by high-speed train, Dijon—the historic capital of Burgundy—beckons with its world-renowned gastronomy, rich heritage, and elegant charm. Join us for a flavorful journey through this iconic city, where every bite tells a story of tradition.
Indulge in a tasting of Dijon’s legendary mustard, experience the complexity of Burgundy’s wines, and treat yourself to pain d’épices (spiced gingerbread), a local specialty with centuries-old roots. You'll enjoy a traditional 'Bourguignon' Lunch and don't forget all the other wonderful things to enjoy! From artisanal cheeses to exquisite chocolates and pâtisseries, every stop is a feast for the senses. And that's just the beginning.
As we wander through Dijon’s beautifully preserved Old Town, marvel at its medieval half-timbered houses, grand palaces, and bustling food markets. With its warm, welcoming atmosphere and a culinary reputation that rivals the best in France, Dijon is the perfect gourmet getaway from Paris.
Join us for a day of unforgettable flavors and discover why Dijon is a must-visit for food lovers!
