Places of Interest
Collège-de-l'Arc <!-- CivilAndHistoricArchitecture isempty -->

The college founded by the Jesuits in 1582 is now a grammar school. It has a fine Renaissance doorway, crowned with a loggia whose arcades rest on winged angels. On the right stand two old residences with fine balustrades and small interior courtyards.

Lake Kir <!-- AttractionsAndLeisureActivities isempty -->

The memory of the famous Canon, a roguish clergyman, who not only gave his name to a famous apéritif but also took a particular interest in water: he was responsible for the creation of this 37ha stretch of water, a favourite with the people of Dijon for leisure activities such as walking, fishing and swimming as well as various nautical pleasures.

Philip the Good Tower <!-- CivilAndHistoricArchitecture isempty -->

This 46m tower was finished in the 15C by Philip III. For the moment it is closed to visitors for safety reasons, depriving enthusiasts of a 316-step climb and a fine view of the city, the Ouche and Saône valleys and the lower slopes of the Jura mountains.
