The experience

Your guide meets you at a location of your choice in Dijon's center and leads a walking route through the historic streets to the Market Hall, where most of the day unfolds. The covered market is where locals shop for produce, meat and prepared foods, and it's where you'll taste your way through Burgundy's signature products. You'll stop at mustard vendors to taste and learn how the region's famous condiment is made, then move through the market stalls sampling cheeses and charcuterie that define the area's food identity. The guide explains the history and composition of each item as you go.

Beyond the market, the route continues into the center of Dijon, stopping at delicacies shops and pastry makers to round out the food tour. You'll taste local sweets and macaroons, each stop revealing another layer of how Dijon's gastronomy connects to its past. The walking pace is steady but not rushed, and the guide weaves in stories about French food traditions and why Burgundy earned its reputation. All areas are wheelchair accessible, and the route works for any fitness level.
