Église Notre-Dame de Dijon is a masterpiece of 13th-century Gothic architecture, famous for its intricate facade adorned with three rows of sculpted gargoyles and a central rose window. The church is also home to the Jacquemart, a mechanical clock figure that strikes the hours, installed in the 14th century. On the church's exterior, a small stone owl carved into a buttress is a local talisman; visitors rub it for good luck. Inside, the church features a calm, light-filled nave with slender columns. The stained glass windows and a 15th-century altarpiece are notable. Located near the Palais des Ducs, it's a must-see in Dijon.
