From the flat Saône plain at roughly 315 meters, Dijon comes into view after a smooth 42 km run up the A31 from Beaune North—about ten minutes from the interchange once you’re cruising. The city stretches between the Ouche and the first slopes of the Côte de Nuits; Gevrey-Chambertin sits just 13 km away. Power and patronage left precise traces: the ducal palace courtyard, the 46 m Tour Philippe le Bon, half-timbered fronts on Rue de la Chouette. Market mornings hum under ironwork by Eiffel’s workshops (1875), and since 2022 the former General Hospital houses the International City of Gastronomy.
We handle the driving; you savor what matters. Collected at your hotel, seated in a Mercedes with flexible routing, you’ll tap the owl at Notre-Dame, time a mustard mill visit to smell pungent Brassica juncea, then sample blackcurrant—crème de cassis versus ratafia—at a local house. With a private chauffeur in Dijon, tastings and visits flow while parking, drop-offs, and timing are quietly managed in the background.

Your chauffeur’s tip
On Saturdays, reach the market halls before 10:00 to beat the crowds and snag bites from cheesemongers; try 18‑month Comté with a dash of crème de cassis—surprising, yet local.
