RUN

We propose you 3 places to run :

1. The historic centre of Dijon

Leave the hotel and set off to explore the 1.8 km2 pedestrianised area. This car-free urban run will allow you to discover the beautiful historic centre with its churches, town houses and squares. By criss-crossing the centre, you can easily run 10 km without using the same street.

2. Parc de la Colombière

If you want to run in a pretty park, we recommend the Parc de la Colombière. Located 2.5 km from the hotel, you can run there or take bus no. 6 towards Longvic, which passes 100 metres from the hotel (Théâtre stop). Get off at the ‘Parc’ stop (8th stop). You can find out more about this park in our article on Dijon's parks and gardens. A great place to run, with shady paths and a 2 to 3 km route around the park.

3. The Ouche Canal & Lake Kir

Head towards the station and enter the address "6 avenue de l'ouche" in your phone (1.7 km from the hotel). You'll then find a staircase leading to a path that follows the river (the Ouche) to Lac Kir (2 km away). The walk around the lake is 3.7 km long.

You can of course find other route ideas on Alltrails or Komoot.

SWIMMING

You'll find 2 great swimming pools in Dijon

1. The Carroussel swimming pool

This pool has a beautiful 50m outdoor pool, open and heated all year round. The 25m indoor pool is reserved for clubs and schools. Take bus 6 towards Longvic to the “Théâtre” stop, 100m from the hotel, and get off at the “Piscine Carroussel” stop (6th stop - 10 min.). For further information, visit the swimming pool website.

2. The Olympic pool

This pool has a 50m indoor pool, a 25m pool, an aquatic area, a fitness area, a wellness area with sauna and hammam, and 2 diving pits (6m and 20m). Walk 500 m to Place de la République, then take Tram 1 towards Quetigny (9th stop - Olympic pool). The journey takes 30 minutes. For further information, visit the pool's website.
