Musée de la Ville

Advantages: many things
Disadvantages: nothing

...important party’s like the 14 July (today) or when l’équipe tricolore wins a world cup. When you have arrived the end of les Champs Elysees you will see La Place de la Concorde and a big park where you can make a pause. For culture fans the capital of France offers many things like the Opera or Le Musee du Louvre. In this museum you can see the Mona Lisa and it is characterized by many crystal pyramids. But I think you must visit Le Musee d’Orsay on account of the Monet’s, Manet’s, Van Gogh’s or Renoir’s pictures which are beautiful and attractive. To have the first romantic impression of Paris, I recommend you to make a night trip with a ship in the river Seine. You can see the little Statue of Liberty, which is n American’s present. In addition, you can also see the illuminated Notre Dame... Read review

...I spent a year in Dijon during my university year abroad and despite my distinct homesickness and sheer glee to get out of the place once July 2003 came around, this shouldn't reflect badly on the beautiful city itself. First things first for a tourist; there are an abundance of really nice, cosy yet resonable hotels/ guesthouses. There a few grotty ones too, particulary on Avenue Maréchal Foch, but a really nice hotel can be found on a quiet Dijon back street. Can't remember the name of the hotel, but it's on Rue Verrerie, parallel with Rue de la Préfecture (where I used to live!!). Ok, sightseeing wise, there is a lot to see. If you are ok with heights, you must go to the top of La Tour Philippe Le Bon, in the middle of the fine arts museum grounds (Musée des Beaux arts), on the main road through, Rue de la Liberté.
