Mon Dieu! Gargoyles Galore in Dijon, France

Gargoyle on Phillipe Le Bon Tower DijonDijon, France–Maybe it was Paris’ hunchback of Notre Dame that got people thinking about the gargoyles. Whatever the reason, it’s not enough to just look at sights in France at street level anymore. This is especially true in Dijon, a medieval city that is the start of burgundy wine country. Look up at the Notre Dame Church for its rows of gargoyles. A couple of amazing fellows jut out of the top of the Palace of the Dukes, on Phillipe the Good’s Tower. And of course, in addition to the gargoyles, there are those magnificent burgundy roofs.
