3 Best Shopping in Burgundy, France

This closet-size wine shop has a mind-boggling range of around 600 different wines, mainly from Burgundy. The knowledgeable staff are at hand to help you to pick out a bottle or two. There is also a Dr. Wine bar just around the corner that offers a nice selection of wines by the glass.

This 19th-century glass-and-metal-covered market was designed by Dijon-born Gustave Eiffel. It buzzes with locals every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. On Saturday, it spills out onto the neighboring streets. Food is the highlight, including local Charolais beef, Bresse chicken, jambon persillé, and lots of regional cheeses. The outside stalls are piled high with clothes, hats, and handbags.

Don't miss a visit to the venerable Mulot et Petitjean, the spice-cake specialists founded in 1796, on Place Bossuet. The shop is remarkable not only for its edible wares, but also for its historic, red-timber facade.
