    Dijon's history is a tapestry woven with centuries of cultural, architectural, and historical significance.

    Roman Origins: 

    Dijon's history can be traced back to Roman times when it was known as "Divio." It served as a strategic crossroads and was established as a key settlement due to its location on the trade route between Lyon and Paris. The city's early development was influenced by Roman architecture and urban planning, which can still be glimpsed in some of its structures.
