Xavière Castano

Cofounder and Director of CSR & Public Relations, Crossject

I moved to Dijon 26 years ago at the start of my professional journey, and I’ve never left. Dijon is a magical mix of heritage, tradition, passionate and inspiring individuals, as well as the vibrant contrasts of fog and light. Through my company, Crossject, and various regional and national roles, I proudly express my love for the city I now call home.

Sarah Chefirat

Head of Studies at ESTP Dijon Campus

I was born in Dijon and spent part of my childhood in the heart of the city, living on Place Grangier and frequently visiting Darcy Park and its famous Pompon bear almost daily. Later, as a student, the back-to-school concerts became a cherished tradition during the academic year. And now, I am thrilled to showcase Dijon and its many assets to the students I support in my role at ESTP, who come from all over France and internationally.

Les Traversées Baroques

Judith Pacquier et Etienne Meyer, Co-directors

We have lived in Dijon for 22 years and founded our musical ensemble, Les Traversées Baroques, here in 2008. We draw our artistic inspiration from the heart of this city steeped in history, culture and innovation. It is here that our musicians rehearse, create and share. It is from here that we spread our wings, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France and internationally, bringing our repertoires to life with boldness and rigour. Being an artist living in Dijon means carrying on the legacy of a city that is focused on the arts, committed to passing on its heritage and resolutely open to the world. We are proud to be part of Dijon’s cultural fabric, alongside all those who bring this city to life and follow us on our musical adventures.
With Les Traversées Baroques, when we tour, Dijon travels with us in our suitcases!

Laurence Mangenot

Director, ESTP, Dijon Campus

I started working in Dijon in 2018, to open and then develop a new campus for ESTP, an engineering school specializing in sustainable construction. Dijon has the warmth of a small town but it’s a metropolis with ambitious projects and a vital, committed ecosystem which gets these projects off the ground.

Loubaska

Dijon-based influencer

Originally from the Jura, Dijon won me over during my studies. I fell in love with it straight away. I felt right at home and discovered a vibrant, welcoming and gastronomic city. That’s why I regularly showcase Dijon on my TikTok and Instagram accounts.

Jean-Philippe Porcherot

CEO, Atols Conseils et Développements

While many digital companies are drawn to Paris, we chose to open 2 agencies in Dijon. Many of our staff live here and love the quality of life.
Our clients and partners from around France are always warmly welcomed when they visit. They enjoy staying in our beautiful city and we make sure they discover its rich cultural and gastronomic heritage.

Nicolas Vernet

Cofounder, Tease Production

Dijon has a rich historical and cultural heritage, and a gastronomic heritage that’s unparalleled. It’s more than just a destination: It’s a thriving ecosystem for entrepreneurs, very open and accessible. The quality of life fosters both personal and professional fulfilment. Setting up Tease Production here allowed me to benefit from an innovative and dynamic network that bridges tradition and innovation, offering exciting opportunities for partnerships and projects.
