Palais des Ducs, or the Palace of the Dukes and Estates of Burgundy, is one of Dijon’s most well-preserved examples of historical architecture. Parts of the palace that visitors can see today even date back to the 14th century, though a majority of it is from its renovations in the 17th and 18th century. The palace was used as a residence for the dukes of Burgundy, then a seat of the Burgundy governor, a drawing school and museum, and Dijon’s town hall among other things. The palace now houses the Museum of Fine Arts as well as the Town Hall, giving visitors the perfect opportunity to explore many aspects of Burgundy’s history in one place.
