Dijon’s Owl's Trail In the very heart of Dijon, you can follow a trail indicated by 22 owls on the cobblestones of pedestrian streets, to discover top places and points of interest of the city.

The owl of Dijon is an amusing mascot with which to explore the town with people of all generations. The signs for the route are easy to follow and the booklet sold by the tourist office is easy to use. Important advice from the locals : if you make a wish, it is essential to caress the owl with your left hand!

The owl on the pillar is quite small and could be missed so look carefully. Nevertheless, signs with owls are located all along the old town which I thought was cute and a great marketing tool to promote tourism

In fact, the idea with the Owl, and the tourist routes where you are accompanied by owl, is simply ingenious. this idea, of course, is also implemented in other cities. But in Dijon, which is a larger than other cities of the region where we were, this is a real help in order not to get lost and see the main sights of the city. Owl itself accompanied us almost everywhere where we were not in this city.

City is beautiful but this owl has almost lost it's shape! Too much fizz for this, preferred everything else in the city, like hidden dead end with beautiful architecture!

Great walk around Dijon, the owls will take you to interesting places :)

Follow the metal signs on the floor to reach the famous owl. The legend goes that if you touch the Owl while making a wish, it will come true.

Eine sehr schöne Idee Touristen einen Rundgang zu markieren. Um dem Liberation Square haben dann einige Hinweise gefehlt und wird sind vom Kurs abgekommen. So sieht man dann etwas mehr von der Stadt

The Owl Trail is an absolutely ingenious idea for travellers to navigate and learn about the city!! Learned so much and had fun along the way. Great for children and adults alike.

Made a wish! You might have to wait a minute because of all the people waiting there too.

A must-do if you’re in Dijon, the owl grants luck and the surrounding church and street are charming.

It is indeed an owl, an overly hyped owl, faceless and about the size of the palm of my hand that is worthy of a lot of praise as it makes way for owles pretty much everywhere in this city, and that is pretty impressive in my book. Long live the owels!

The Owl of Dijon can be found at one of the pillars on the left of the church. The mascot and talisman of Dijon. Tradition goes that if you touch it with your left hand, your wish would be granted.

Very cool little treasure. Rub for good luck!

By the time that you get to the now "faceless" owl you will have seen some amazing architecture and sights of Dijon. It's a wonderfully easy way to start a walking tour and, it starts really near the SNCF train station in the park (see photo)

Be sure to touch the owl with your left hand!

Very interesting story! An absolute must if you visit Dijon!

You have to visit the owl to make a wish! The poor owl has been touched that much it doesn't really look like an owl anymore! but definitely worth a visit to touch the owl and make a wish!

Fun place to visit and try to grant your wishes by following the ritual of stroking the owl with your left hand. Love the history and the way the story has spread to other souvenirs in Dijon

Follow the owl path to discover the city. Don't forget to make a wish with the left hand on the owl

Excellent Owl trail which ensured we saw all the wonders of Dijon

Love the Owl trail in centre of Dijon. Also the big pavement Owls for photo opportunities.

Dijon owl walk is a great way to explore the city with kids! Good brig guide from the tourist information centre for 3.5 euro. Takes you through all the major sites.

Very fun path to follow and discover the town of Dijon, to finally end at the wishing owl. Kids loved it!

The Owl trail is a fantastic way to discover Dijon. In addition to the 22 places along the route, there are tons of attractions along the way that you can get lost in. We took almost 2.5 hours to see everything because we kept stopping and wandering. Very unique and highly recommended. Worth the few euros it costs to get the official map or app.
