Côte-d’Or

The Côte-d'Or department extends across 8,763 square kilometers of land, encompassing three districts: Beaune, Dijon, and Montbard, with varied elevations from 179 to 590 meters.

Created during the French Revolution in March 1790, this administrative division became part of the greater territorial reorganization that established the modern French department system.

The department maintains 707 municipalities, where local markets, wine production traditions, and regional gastronomy, including Dijon mustard production, shape the territorial identity.

The region connects to major French cities through an extensive transportation network, with Dijon serving as the primary hub for rail and road connections.

Villiers-le-Duc holds the distinction of being the largest municipality at 84.34 square kilometers, while Saint-Jean-de-Losne measures only 0.58 square kilometers.
