Gustave Eiffel, Henry Darcy and Hippolyte Fontaine, all three born in Dijon, are widely recognised in their various disciplines. Distinguished names who might well obscure the rest of the city’s rich scientific and technological history.
Although Dijon is perhaps best known for its artistic heritage, science and technology have also left their mark on the city’s heritage. Places of study and application alike continue to preserve the memory of the great names of science who frequented them. Less well-known sites were witnesses to remarkable experiments. And finally, a number of places, now no longer with us, are kept alive by their traces in the archives. These sites and buildings bear witness to remarkable figures who contributed to the development of numerous disciplines: from Guyton de Morveau to Georges-François Leclerc, from chemistry to medicine… A fascinating panorama for you to marvel at!
