Between Paris and Lyon, Dijon is the perfect place to sample Burgundian cuisine and admire Medieval architecture.

Dijon is a city in eastern France, and is the capital of the Burgundy region. The city has retained varied architectural styles from many of the main periods of the past millennium, including Capetian, Gothic and Renaissance. Many still-inhabited town houses in the city's central district date from the 18th century and earlier. Dijon architecture is distinguished by, among other things, toits bourguignons (Burgundian polychrome roofs) made of tiles glazed in terracotta, green, yellow and black and arranged in geometric patterns. The historical center of the city has been registered since July 4, 2015 as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

I have already recommended to several of my peers! I am really impressed. Saludos! Thanks for making my trip something amazing. The platform is EXTRA easy to use, and very intuitive. Being as graphic with the actual route in google map format, photographs of each location, etc makes it much easier than other travel management tools.

I really enjoyed using RoutePerfect and will definitely be using it more in the future. I used to use another website, but not any more. Your site has much better hotels. All check-ins were smooth, and hotels were as advertised. The trip was great!
