Dijon - city and mustard
After our sojourn in Paris we travelled by TGV train to Dijon for two nights. Dijon is a small city with a large, young university population so it has quite a different vibe from Paris.
We spent our two days walking around the coblestone streets of the old city centre, admiring the beautiful old Burgundy Ducal buildings as well as visiting some of the (free) museums and the botanical gardens. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit the Dijon Mutard (mustard) museum/factory because it is closed at the moment! However, there was lots of mustard for sale in Dijon shops so we bought a few bottles. You can buy all sorts of Dijon mustard here, including seeded, taragon, basil and also blueberry (yuck) mustard. Also, some cafes and restaurants had little sachets of mustard instead of sauce sachets!
