The iron-and-glass market signed Eiffel

The covered market of Dijon is one of the liveliest and most gourmet places of the town. This magnificent covered market, built at the end of the nineteenth century, is a fine example of the metallic architecture of the era, with its great iron structure, its glass roofs and its luminous volume. Its design is linked to Gustave Eiffel, the famous engineer born in Dijon, whose know-how and influence marked this type of modern construction. Under the hall crowds a multitude of stalls offering the products of the Burgundian terroir: meats, cheeses, vegetables, wines, and of course the local specialities like the Dijon mustard, the gingerbread or the blackcurrant liqueur. A place of market, shopping and conviviality, the covered market is a temple of gastronomy and a must-see place of life of Dijon.
