The city was the capital of the Duchy of Burgundy. We can find buildings and the ambiance in this epoch like the Palace of Duc of Burgundy which is the city hall at present. The statue of the owl which is located beside the Notre Dame Church is the happiness symbol in this city. In addition, the mustard is famous and we can taste the escargot and the regional wine.
