petit fute dijon
The Petit Fute Dijon edition is terrific for information on absolutely everything in Dijon. Even if you don't read French, you can figure out much of the info regarding museums, restaurants, etc. Pick it up for 7 at any "libraire" (that's bookstore to you and me). Especially handy if you are staying in Dijon for an extended period of time.
