Arriving in Dijon

We planned a brief trip to Dijon this week. I had wanted to visit the Christmas market, and there was a restaurant I’d read about which I had also wanted us to try. So we decided we’d have our ‘Christmas outing’ there. It’s just an 80 minute drive from us, but we thought an overnight would give us a relaxed couple of days to explore. Dijon is such an attractive city, and there is plenty to do.

We arrived around lunchtime, so nipped into a little café for a croque monsieur and a very decadent hot drink.

Our afternoon soon flew by, as we wandered around the beautifully decorated streets, enjoying all the wonderful window displays and street decorations. We decided, whilst it was still daylight, that we would visit the Musée des Beaux Arts before visiting the Christmas market, as we knew the streets would look even more magical when the lights were switched on at dusk. Even so, the shop window displays were wonderful.
