About this tour
This planning call helps you build a realistic route through Dijon's old town, balancing the ducal palace, the owl trail and Les Halles market. Mathieu talks through what matters most to you and checks the plan against what is actually open and worth the time. You leave with an order that fits your schedule rather than a generic list.
After a short chat about your dates and interests, Mathieu sketches a route live and explains his reasoning. He checks market days and local events that might shift the plan and answers questions as they come up. A written version of the route follows by message.
This suits anyone short on time who wants a local's honest priorities. It also suits a first visit to Dijon, when the choices can feel scattered.

- A 45-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
