Hands down, the ultimate draw for foodies is the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin, which houses an interactive museum, a cooking school, two restaurants, retail shops, and, as of next year, a new hotel. “No matter how many times you visit,” says Thomas Demurs, head of Dijon Tourism, “there’s always something new to do at the City of Gastronomy and Wine.” For instance, you can learn to make the Burgundian specialty oeufs en meurette at the prestigious Ferrandi cooking school, test your skills at the Iron Chef-style video game, splurge on glorious French-made kitchenware for souvenirs, toast with a tipple at the rooftop experimental bar, choose from over 250 wines on tap to sample, feast your eyes on giant pastry sculptures (a kid-approved exhibit!), and so much more.

This haven for foodies occupies a complex that combines starkly modern buildings and a renovated former hospital dating back to 1204, all sprawled over a 16-acre site at the southwest edge of the city. One of the contemporary wings houses an outpost of the Ferrandi culinary school and the Ecole des Vins de Bourgogne, which holds tastings and workshops. But the hub is the Gastronomic Village, an outdoor shopping mall with high-end food and wine shops, a culinary bookstore, and an on-site kitchen where top chefs hold live cooking demonstrations and masterclasses.

Several centuries of the city’s past are represented across the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy complex. Climb the 316 ancient stone steps to the top of its 150ft-high Tour Philippe le Bon for panoramic views over the city. Afterwards, explore the palace’s Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, whose walls are covered with medieval masterpieces and contemporary art.

The center covers 1,750 square meters of exhibition space in a new building nestled in the heart of town, not far from its Unesco-designated Climate Burgundy vineyards and the Route de Grand Crus, which beckon wine enthusiasts from around the world.

The shiny Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin (International City of Gastronomy and Wine) opened in May 2022 with the ambitious mandate of examining and explaining French cuisine in its entirety—its history, the science and art behind food and wine, its quirks, and its top practitioners. The 15-acre, €247 million ultra-interactive attraction includes an exhibition space dedicated to pastry, with videos and statues to help visitors understand the science behind the baking process (including a massive cake you can walk into); a photography exhibition that looks at what foods French leaders served during particularly fraught political meals; a decommissioned church that's now a temple of wine with exhibits, videos, and texts about Burgundy's famous vintages; a shiny new cooking school; and a wine cellar that has machines to dispense tastings of 250 different wines (out of the 3,000 you can buy here).
