It is fitting that Dijon is represented in a tapestry hanging from the ceiling of Notre Dame, the city's gargoyle-studded gothic cathedral.
Say "Dijon" and the famous mustard springs to mind, but the Burgundian capital is also peppered with cultural attractions.
From the patchwork of glazed-tile roofs and half-timbered houses to the elegant art galleries and the sculptures floating in Jardin Darcy's pool,
Dijon is embroidered with rich colours and textures.
For a view of the university town's spires and copper-coloured roofs, visit Philip Le Bon Tower.
