“Hospitality is much more than a profession for me,” says Florence. “It is a vocation dedicated to service and guest satisfaction.”
Having worked for many years in the management department of the family business, Florence discovered her true calling when her husband was transferred to another region. “I have always been driven by a genuine passion for human connection, customer relations, and the pleasure of welcoming guests.”
After acquiring a first 11-room hotel, followed by a second with 19 rooms, Florence settled in 2010 in the village of Marsannay-la-Côte, the first stop along the Route des Grands Crus, located just 10 minutes from Dijon. There, she established a contemporary 3-star hotel featuring 47 rooms, a restaurant dedicated to local flavors, a seminar room, and a pleasant outdoor swimming pool. Although built close to the vineyards, The Originals City Hôtel Restaurant l’Ormichal takes its name from the old washhouse of Marsannay, a gathering place and center of village life for generations. “It is this spirit of conviviality and authenticity that we continue to uphold today!”

Yves, the chef, offers a menu faithful to the products of Burgundy. It is worth noting that the region is home to many iconic dishes: beef bourguignon, snails, gougères, coq au vin… Not to mention the house specialty: eggs in meurette sauce. Open only in the evening. Closed on Sundays.
Small but very pleasant, the hotel’s swimming pool invites you to relax after a day on the road or exploring Burgundy. Stretch out on a sun lounger and enjoy the moment! Those who are more sensitive to the cold can rest assured: the pool is heated (but only open from May to September).
Look down at the cobblestones of Dijon. Do you spot an owl? Follow it! The Owl Trail (the city’s symbolic animal) stretches for nearly 3 km across the Burgundian capital and leads you through 22 stops showcasing its main monuments and historical treasures.
Starting point: Darcy Garden. Ending point: Saint-Bénigne Cathedral. Along the way, don’t miss Les Halles, Place de la Libération, or the Hôtel de Vogüé.
A landmark monument of Dijon, the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy is a concentration of architectural history, spanning from the 15th century (the ducal residence) to the 17th century, when Jules Hardouin-Mansart unified the façade as it appears today. Behind its classical design, the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy is a true hive of activity, housing the town hall, the Museum of Fine Arts, the municipal archives, and the tourist office. An essential stop, therefore.
This charming Dijon museum, inaugurated in 1985, invites visitors to discover everyday life in Burgundy in the past through nearly 35,000 objects and works of art. Located in the Bernardines convent cloister, the museum opens on the ground floor with displays evoking rural Burgundy in the 19th and early 20th centuries. On the second floor, the “street of shops” features numerous exhibits dedicated to Dijon’s local industries.
When it comes to Dijon’s sweet treats, there is more than just the famous mustard! The Fabrique Mulot et Petitjean has been excelling since 1796 in the production of gingerbread. Passed down from father to son and mother to daughter, this family business is the last of the twelve gingerbread houses that existed in Dijon in the 20th century. Its high-quality products have built its reputation, along with the many variations of its signature product: gingerbread with chocolate, fig, and even… mustard.
