Liberty street

Liberty Street is a pedestrian shopping street in central Dijon that connects major public squares and features lined storefronts and historic buildings. The architecture ranges from structures built in the 15th century through the 18th century, creating a varied streetscape.

The street received its current name during the French Revolution when it was renamed from Rue de Conde, and it was significantly extended in 1724. This expansion connected previously separate areas of the city and shaped Dijon's modern center.

The street serves as a gathering place where locals shop and meet, creating a natural meeting point for daily city life. The mix of building styles and shop windows creates a layered urban fabric that reflects how Dijon has evolved.

The street is flat and easy to walk, making it comfortable for leisurely strolling and shopping without hills or slopes. Be prepared for crowds during busy hours, especially on weekends, when foot traffic increases significantly.

A tower once stood at the Coin du Miroir corner with large ogival windows until its demolition in 1767, marking a major change to that intersection. This removal opened up views across the intersection and permanently transformed how that important crossing appeared.
