Place François Rude

This is the most attractive square in Dijon which is frequently crowded but with an ambience of joie de vivre. The centre of this square is land marked by a beautiful fountain known locally as bareuzai with a statue of the Le Vendangeur, a work by Noël-Jules Girard. It's surrounded by beautiful buildings of medieval and Renaissance architecture and it's also a street market. There are major streets merging into this square; Rue des Forges, rue François Rude and rue de la Liberté. It's a magical place to visit for its cafés, restaurants, wine shops, grocery and the indoor market. From this square if you follow rue de la Liberté, it's the most commercially concentrated street to shop in Dijon with Galeries Lafayette the most prominent. It's also an easy access to churches, museums and the Dukes of Burgundy palace. Sit at the fountain and be mesmerised by the sound of the carousel, Bailly-Cochet decorated with stunning artworks especially of Gustave Eiffel. Great atmosphere and suitable for all ages.

Une très belle place des bars des restaurants et un manège il y en a pour tout le monde

We spent the day in Dijon and began with a coffee in the Square. The vintage carousel was also nice to watch.

Le vrai cœur battant de Dijon

Shops not opened entirely but it gives you time to sit along the cafes dotted along the walkways. Take in the architecture of old square and people watch. Relax and chill here.
