Car Rental Dijon – Must Know

It may seem quite unusual that even a large city has a huge number of streets with one-way traffic. Close to many major areas there are intersections with traffic organized in a circle. When entering on the circle you should give way to drivers who commit maneuver right. And when driving you should stay as close as possible to the right lane of the road and the left lane can be used only to make overtaking.

Palace of Burgundy Dukes 

Drive your car rental vehicle right to the heart of this rich city – to the Liberty Square with the famous architectural monument which once served as the residence of Burgundy Dukes and then the seat of the parliament. Luxury building which has spread its wings far beyond the semi-circular area was built and rebuilt over the centuries. It all started back in 1365, so it is not surprising that in the palace architecture harmoniously blended just three styles: Gothic, Renaissance and French Classicism.

Arquebuse Botanical Garden

Botanical Park is located within a large park (5 ha) embedded in the XVI century for the Knights who were practicing harquebus shooting. Dijon poet Aloysius Bertrand in the introduction to his "Night Gaspar" confirms that the name of the garden comes from the harquebus, of which the knights once a year were shooting the birds. Drive your car rental vehicle to this place to have a stroll in the beautiful garden and take photos.

The majestic and refined structure, whose monumental harmony with grace, appears to us in the form of a fairytale castle with high towers and round stone domes.
