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!

Catherine Petitjean
Chairman & CEO, Mulot & Petitjean

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.

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!

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.

Vicky Graillot
High-level sportswoman (weightlifting) and Secretary of HM Dijon Bourgogne 21

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.

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.

Nicolas Vernet

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.
