    Hiking

    The owl 🦉 is to the left of the Église Notre-Dame and there is a legend:
    It is customary for tourists and residents of Dijon to stroke the owl with their left hand and make a wish, which hopefully comes true.
    It's worth a try 😊

    Touching the owl's wing is said to bring good luck.
    I firmly believe in that.

    Hiking

    Applied in the 15th or 16th century, the owl is worn out by superstition. People pull the owl with their left hand to make a wish.
