The Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne is one of Dijon's most striking buildings and reflects the rich history of the Burgundian Dukes. The complex originated in the Middle Ages and was expanded in later centuries with elements of classical style, including the stately façade with columns and wrought-iron balconies. Strategically located on the Place de la Libération, the palace forms the historical and administrative heart of the city. Inside, you'll find the Musée des Beaux-Arts, with one of the oldest and most important art collections in France. The combination of architecture, culture, and historical significance makes this palace an essential visit when exploring Dijon.

In place of an old gate in the 12th-century city wall, the architect Jean-Philippe Maret had this monument built between 1786 and 1788 in homage to the Prince of Condé, governor of Burgundy. The building was then named Porte Condé. The monument was connected by walls to the ramparts that still existed, and its gate was closed by a gate, traces of which can still be seen. During the Revolution in 1791, the gate was named the Arc de la Liberté; in the 19th century, it became Porte Guillaume, in reference to Guillaume de Volpiano, abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Bénigne.

The Church of Saint Maurice was built between 1834 and 1839 according to plans by the Dijon architect Fénéon-Damotte. It follows the traditions of neoclassical churches built in the first half of the 19th century. A façade bell tower is preceded by a peristyle with a pediment supported by four Doric columns. The church has the unique feature of being built on submerged oak trees, as it is actually located in the old branch of the Saône, which was diverted.

The name Porte Guillaume is a tribute to Guillaume de Volpiano, abbot of the Abbey of Saint Bénigne, who participated in the construction of the abbey in the 11th century, which was later converted into a cathedral and is located not far away.
