Dijon
is a lovely city in the heart of Burgundy, close to many of the great
vineyards of the region. It's been the capital of Burgundy since the
beginning of the 11th century because of its strategic position on the
important north-south and east-west trading routes that connected France
to the rest of Europe and beyond.
