The market operates on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings with over 100 vendors selling Burgundy's finest: epoisses cheese, pain d'epices, cassis liqueur, escargots, and regional charcuterie. The surrounding streets host additional outdoor market stalls on the busiest days., Rue de la Liberte — This elegant main pedestrian thoroughfare cuts through the heart of the old town from the Place Darcy to the Palais des Ducs, lined with 16th to 18th-century stone facades housing shops, patisseries, and cafes. The street follows the route of the ancient Roman road that connected Lyon to Paris. Look up to spot the polychrome glazed-tile roofs in green, yellow, brown, and black diamond patterns — a signature of Burgundian architecture found throughout the old town., plus hidden gems like The Owl Trail — The Parcours de la Chouette is a walking route marked by 22 bronze owl markers embedded in the pavement, each numbered and corresponding to a heritage site explained in a free booklet available from the tourist office. The trail covers about 2 kilometers through the old town and takes roughly 90 minutes, passing all major landmarks plus several hidden courtyards not visible from the main streets. and Chartreuse de Champmol — Originally a grand 14th-century Carthusian monastery commissioned by Duke Philip the Bold as a dynastic burial site, it was largely destroyed during the French Revolution. What survives is extraordinary: the Well of Moses by Claus Sluter, a hexagonal fountain base with six monumental prophet figures carved between 1395 and 1404, widely considered the greatest work of Northern European sculpture before Michelangelo..
