Tips from the Community
The Dijon Owl (La Chouette de Dijon) is a small medieval sculpture on the north buttress of the Église Notre-Dame in Dijon, and has been considered a lucky charm for centuries. According to tradition, you should touch the owl with your left hand while making a wish, without looking, to bring good luck. Its exact origin is unknown, but it is suspected that the owl symbolized wisdom or served as the signature of a medieval stonemason's guild. Due to frequent touching, the owl has been restored several times, including after vandalism in 2001. The owl also marks the starting point of the "Parcours de la Chouette," a walking route that takes in 22 Dijon landmarks, recognizable by small bronze owls set into the pavement. The owl has become an iconic and beloved symbol of the city.

Inside, you'll find the Musée des Beaux-Arts, with one of the oldest and most important art collections in France.

In place of an old gate in the 12th-century city wall, the architect Jean-Philippe Maret had this monument built between 1786 and 1788 in homage to the Prince of Condé, governor of Burgundy. The building was then named Porte Condé. The monument was connected by walls to the ramparts that still existed, and its gate was closed by a gate, traces of which can still be seen. During the Revolution in 1791, the gate was named the Arc de la Liberté; in the 19th century, it became Porte Guillaume, in reference to Guillaume de Volpiano, abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Bénigne.
