Explore the golden-roofed capital of Burgundy — Dijon — on a private cultural and gastronomic trail, from the jaw-dropping Ducal Palace to the world-famous Maille mustard shop and a tucked-away covered market.
What to expect
Dijon is only 50 km north of Seurre — close enough for a supremely rich half-day. Your guide opens with the monumental Palais des Ducs, whose Museum of Fine Arts houses one of France's top collections of Flemish and Flemish-influenced painting. From there, the Rue de la Liberté leads to the legendary Maille boutique for a private mustard tasting flight (30+ varieties, served on tiny wooden spoons). The UNESCO-listed historic centre's medieval half-timbered hôtels particuliers, the owl trail's hidden carvings, and a stop at Marché des Halles complete the morning.
Good to know
Dijon is about 50 km north of Seurre (55-minute drive). The Maille boutique at 32 Rue de la Liberté is open daily; no prior booking needed for tastings but call ahead for a private session. Build a 1-hour all-aboard buffer.
