Dijon, France

Dijon Our 24 hours in Dijon was interesting, particularly the Airbnb. We stayed in the turret of an old building, in the central part of old Dijon. We had amazing views from the bedroom window, it was very interesting how an a very old place, with limited space, had been updated to make use of all the space very efficiently while making it aesthetically pleasing. The old town felt mediaeval in some areas. There was an interesting pathway self-guided tour throughout the old town, marked with brass plaques on the sidewalk with cute owls pointing out the interesting historical sites. We had intended to see a museum, arriving only to find it closed (according to review online a common enough occurrence). Instead, we played a family game of Kaiser in a beautiful park by a fountain. We then went for a long walk in an area where the locals bike, run, and camp. On our way we enjoyed seeing the QR code building. Unfortunately, when we attempted to have lunch after 2 o’clock we learned many of the nice restaurants in France have a quiet period between 2 and 7 PM and don’t serve food! Thus our first meal in France was a fast food burger!
