The Owl That Grants Wishes: A small, weathered stone carving of an owl on the northern exterior wall of the Notre-Dame de Dijon church is the city's unofficial mascot. Legend says that rubbing it with your left hand while making a wish brings good luck.

Dijon mustard is a type of mustard that originated in Dijon, a town in Burgundy, France. And it gets its distinctive flavor from white wine.

Though it was first used as a condiment as early as 1336 (by King Philip VI, no less), it didn't become widely popular until the 19th century. The mustard was originally made with vinegar, but Dijon resident Jean Naigeon replaced that particular ingredient with verjuice (the juice from unripe grapes) in 1856.

Gustave Eiffel, designer of Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower, was born in Dijon in 1832.

Canon Félix Kir, An earthy priest, sprung from peasant stock, one of a breed that seems to flourish as richly as grapes in French soil, Canon Kir never lost the knack of downing an opponent with salty humor. When a free thinker heckled him at a public meeting and declared that God did not exist because no one had ever seen Him, the Canon fixed him with a steely eye and replied: "And my backside? You've never seen it either, yet it exists."
