Exploring Dijon (Oct 28, 2025)

Yesterday was pretty rainy so we did some laundry, stocked up at the nearby grocery store, and did some research about Dijon so we'd be ready today.

Dijon has an "Owl Walk" which is an interesting way to see the major sights.  I picked up a map at the tourist center and while the stops are numbered consecutively, you can start anywhere.  We chose the nearest one to us and started there.  We also did it over a few days since we're here awhile.

You never regret a gelato.

Whew!  That was a lot of walking today, so we were glad to get back to our apartment.  What I've seen so far makes me eager to explore more tomorrow.
