Organize an event in Dijon, Burgundy

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!

For 25 years, I have had the privilege of working in Dijon, a city that has seen me grow professionally and which I have watched flourish over the years. Dijon is a metropolis that perfectly combines the advantages of a large city with the charm of proximity. Its extraordinary heritage and commitment to ecology make it a great place to live. This unique combination of modernity and tradition is what makes Dijon so special and attractive.

I never fail to praise its historic city centre and the tomb of the Dukes in the Museum of Fine Arts. A must-see!

Dijon holds a special place in my heart. My company has been producing traditional Dijon gingerbread since 1796, perpetuating tradition while embracing innovation. The secret of Dijon lies in this ability to merge innovation with tradition. I am delighted to be based in one of France’s great gastronomic and food capitals.

For me, Dijon is a city rich in memories of a happy childhood and strong family ties. Knowing and staying connected to your roots is important, especially when they are as enriching as those in Dijon.
As the capital of the Dukes of Burgundy, the city boasts an exceptional heritage while being close to major economic hubs like Paris, Lyon, and Switzerland. As such, it is at the heart of a strong economic dynamic and continues to evolve while capitalizing on its rich traditions, such as the legendary Côte d’Or wines.

With my two companies, I proudly work with local businesses and national brands on bespoke projects in Dijon and across Europe. Dijon’s excellent road, highway, and rail connections places it in the center of a region that stretches far beyond its borders.
I show my attachment to the region by supporting local clubs, events, and cultural venues through partnerships and sponsorships.

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.

Dijon is far more than my hometown, it’s my home. This is where I built my elite sports career, supported by CREPS Bourgogne, HMDB21 club, and the Palais des Sports. These places are a constant reminder of everything Dijon has given me. It’s an authentic environment, where I can count on a community of enthusiasts to support me every day.
When I host athlete friends or partners, I love showcasing Dijon’s fine foods and drink, historic landmarks, and sharing a good meal together.
