Kiosque à musique place Wilson

The place of president Wilson is one of most beautiful of Dijon, its 8 000 m2 make a pleasant place. A superb bandstand throne in this place, its architecture elegant is remarkable, all in lightness, in a perfect state of conservation. We can imagine to listen to coppers or other musical instruments in a so pretty decoration, decorated of a large basin with water.

The transitory garden place Darcy: 800 square meters, 30 000 bulbs of tulips, hyacinths and others narcisses. In the medium of these flowers, there is 1 000 four-leaf clovers out of brass nickelled in 200 square meters of grass. This clover is in fact the work of the artist Delphine Coindet. The principle is that people can normally take along a clover. The fact is that there is a guard and that nobody dares to approach closely... This work belongs to the collection of the Funds regional of contemporary art of High-Normandy. (Thank you Anna for all these precise details).

La maison sans toit ...

This house is of a terrible aspect, with its black and deep alley, its frontage in perforated empty attic windows which look you like the eyes of a death's-head. To the Average Age, this house belongs to a pastrycook named Jean Carquelin. Its fame is large in Dijon; its pies are required on all the tables been useful well of the Burgundian capital. But here that dark rumours circulate by the city and throw fear there. Children disappear. Many bands of gipsies are stopped but the stolen children are not found. And the poor mother twists the arms of despair. Exasperated crowd not being able more to show the gipsies starts to suspect the Jews. A voice rises then and requires of which flesh the pies of Jean Carquelin are made. Horrible assumption! Justice is moved. One runs to the infamous one trading and one finds in his cellar the bloody remains of a child... Jean Carquelin is condemned to died and the roof of its house is removed as a sign of infamy. It undergoes the torture of the wheel on the place of Morimont (current place Emile Zola). Such is the legend
