答案
Dijon is a city in eastern France,the capital of the Côte-d'Or département and of the Burgundy region.
Dijon is the historical capital of the province of Burgundy.Population (2008):151,576 within the city limits; 250,516 (2007) for the greater Dijon area.
History
Dijon began as a Roman settlement called Divio,located on the road from Lyon to Paris.Saint Benignus,the city's patron saint,is said to have introduced Christianity to the area before being martyred.
Capital of the Duchy of Burgundy
This province was home to the Dukes of Burgundy from the early 11th until the late 15th centuries and Dijon was a place of tremendous wealth and power and one of the great European centres of art,learning and science.The Duchy of Burgundy was a key in the transformation of medieval times toward early modern Europe.
Sights
Dijon boasts a large number of churches,notably Notre Dame de Dijon,St.Philibert,St.Michel,Dijon Cathedral,the crypt of which,dedicated to Saint Benignus,dates from 1,000 years ago.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 eye-catching geometric patterns.
Dijon was largely spared the destruction of wars such as the 1870 Franco-Prussian War and the Second World War,despite the city being occupied.Therefore,many of the old buildings such as the half-timbered houses dating from the 12th to the 15th centuries (found mainly in the city's core district) are undamaged,at least by organized violence.
Dijon is home to many museums,including the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon in part of the Ducal Palace (see below).It contains,among other things,ducal kitchens dating back to the mid-15th century,and a substantial collection of European painting from Roman times through contemporary art.
Among the more popular sights is the Ducal Palace,the Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne or "Palace of the Dukes and the States of Burgundy" (47°19′19″N 5°2′29″E),which includes one of only a few remaining examples of the Capetian period in the region.
The church of Notre Dame is famous for both its art and architecture.Popular legend has it that one of its stone relief sculptures,an owl (la chouette) is a good-luck charm:visitors to the church touch the owl with their left hands to make a wish.(The current carving was restored after it was damaged by vandalism in the night of 5 and 6 January 2001).
Culture
Dijon holds its International and Gastronomic Fair every year in autumn.With over 500 exhibitors and 200,000 visitors every year,it is one of the ten most important fairs in France.Dijon is also home,every three years,to the international flower show Florissimo.
Dijon has numerous museums such as the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon,the Musée Archéologique,the Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne,the Musée d'Art Sacré,and the Musée Magnin.It also contains approximately 700 hectares of parks and green space,including the Jardin botanique de l'Arquebuse.
Apart from the numerous bars,which sometimes have live bands,some popular music venues in Dijon are :Le zenith de Dijon,La Vapeur and l'Atheneum.
