The name of Lake Kir comes from the famous eccentric mayor of Dijon who exercised this function in the 1960s. Canon Kir, in addition to having given his surname to this very beautiful artificial lake, and also the inventor of the aperitif Kir: a mixture Aligoté white wine and blackcurrant liqueur. It was a dam on the Ouche River that created this lake. It is a place of relaxation for all Dijonnais.

THE recreation area near Dijon - Thirty hectares of green space surround the artificial lake created by Canon Kir, where you can enjoy sports or leisure activities. As a result, many runners gather there, and on weekends, when everyone is resting, it can get crowded—movable obstacles! 😉
The drinking fountains along the lake are also delightful amenities!

Fountain at Place Wilson, Dijon

Highlight • Monument

Place Wilson is a circular, grassy square with a multi-jet fountain and a pavilion named after the 28th American president, commemorating the US entry into the war on the side of France.

At the beginning of the 19th century, a bastion for the city's defense stood on this site, but it was destroyed in 1820. The square itself has since been named by various other names.

Today, I'll just clear out my child's apartment and spend the remaining time going for a walk...
The drizzle has been consistently at a less-than-improbable rate of less than 30%... maybe a gamble today?
