A free and open site
From Divio to Dijon is free and open to all, with no ads and no sign-up. Teachers, guides, associations, curious minds: use it freely, in class or on a visit.
Why this site?
I have lived in Dijon for “only” three years, and I am curious about the history of my new city. The information exists, but it is scattered, and I missed a more playful way to discover it. So I created From Divio to Dijon.

A mistake, a detail to add?
The texts rely first on sources from the City of Dijon, the tourist office and the Region. The ordinary houses on the map are a reconstruction: only the monuments have their real dates. Spotted a historical error or have a suggestion? Write to me.
