The Musée des Beaux-Arts or Museum of Fine Arts is our next destination in beautiful Dijon. Last time we ended up at the Palais des Ducs and we won't go too far from it, because the museum is located in its east wing. It is one of the oldest and most important art museums in France. It is home to extensive collections that begin with ancient Egypt and end with the present. For a relatively low entrance fee (6 euros), you can look forward to art feasts that you just won't see anywhere else.

„When they want to get rid of them, rich Parisians send their children here to study at the university. So, it is expensive here but the life is vibrant,“ says Louis about his home-town, a guy I met during my stay there. Indeed, for a long time I haven’t been to a place that would have so much of student atmosphere yet it wasn’t flooded with “poor” hipster cafes. Add more than two thousand years of history, narrow streets with old houses made of sandstone and friendly inhabitants of Provence. This makes almost perfect image of one of the most famous towns in the south of France.
