Not Just Wine – Next On University Cities in Dijon, Burgundy

When we think of Burgundy we think wines. It’s true that the region produces some of the finest wines in the world. The wines from this region are much lighter than Bordeaux, in colour and body and preferred by many.

The university of Dijon attracts many foreign students from all over the world.

The city of Dijon itself is quite magnificent. Apart from the cathedrals, most of the old buildings are preserved and go as far back as 300 years since Dijon was relatively unaffected by the wars. In addition to the usual such as cafes and nightclubs some students look for, Dijon has one of the largest indoor markets where you find everything from fresh farm produce including cheeses, French street food and a vast variety of meats to the cafes that lie just outside the market. Here you’ll find people from all walks of life and many nationalities.
