In the first ride to Paris, they decided to visit the heart of Burgundy with her friend - beautiful Dijon. The benefit to go from Paris some one and a half hours. Yes, and tickets were bought on the train in advance, and the trip went back to us at 38 euros. The weather was very pleased, Dijon in the radiance of the autumn sun was gorgeous.
I fell in love with this city at once, as soon as I left the station building, and I can sing him for a long time and eloquently. This is such a plexus of history, a real charm of the French province, and at the same time quite progressive center of the whole department.

Facrifice houses, famous burgundy roofs with multicolored tiles, ancient square ... This city captures you immediately. It is impossible not to fall in love.
True, even Dijon is a tourist center, there are massively tourist groups here, but nevertheless English speech on the streets will not particularly hear, more Russians and Chinese. Slightly move aside from the tourist trail, the sellers mostly know only French. But nevertheless, everything is extremely polite, try to help in the measure of their capabilities. So that the language barrier is not a barrier, especially in today's presence of gadgets.
If you go for a day to Dijon, then be sure to walk through the historical center - Freedom Square, go to the old building of the theater, visit Notre Dame de Dijon, which leads its history since the beginning of the 12th century. France began from here, from the capital of the Duchy Burgundy.
And of course, do not forget to take the famous Burgundy cream Casis. This is the famous burgundy liquor cream from different berries. He is tart, sweet and very rich.
