The Project
Context
Approach
Challenges
Ferrandi school
Ferrandi Paris offers intensive five-month training programs in pastry and French cuisine, in English. Each year, 110 students from around the world will be welcomed in 850 m² of educational spaces within the showcase building of the cité, called the light cannon. They are also trained in oenology and food and wine pairings. The program, which includes the discovery of the Burgundy region and its products in the student curriculum, also allows amateur enthusiasts the opportunity to take short courses.
Workshops and tasting courses
Workshops and tasting courses, led by professionals and instructors from the Burgundy Wine School - sommeliers, oenologists, geologists, sensory analysts - are offered to the general public.
The covered market
5,000 m² of shops make up the gastronomic commercial village of the city.
This ensemble is punctuated by artistic gestures inspired by the culinary arts and centered around original restaurants, wine bars, and a spectacular wine cellar, along with about fifteen specialized boutiques offering local products and French gastronomic expertise. As an extension of its Parisian counterpart, a Gourmet Bookstore presents the world's largest selection of cookbooks and oenology literature.
The climats exhibition
1,750 m² of exhibition space and a demonstration shop/workshop are venues for expressing the French gastronomic meal and the Burgundy climats in all their dimensions.
They demonstrate their importance within a unique cultural heritage. A visitor ticket provides access to a modern building, the Gastronomy and Wine Pavilion, and to a remarkably rehabilitated building on the site, the Chapel, partly dedicated to the Climats of the Burgundy vineyard. These spaces host a permanent exhibition in three acts (At the Table!, In the Kitchen, In Burgundy) as well as a temporary exhibition, regularly renewed, with the first one, sponsored by Pierre Hermé, having the delicious theme of "French pastry".
Various facilities
Combining tradition and innovation, we align our actions with respect for the environment, social inclusion, and the enhancement of heritage.
high tech cinema
A Pathé cinema complex was incorporated into the programming. The National Commission for Cinema Development (Commission nationale d'aménagement cinématographique) gave its official approval for the establishment of these cinemas within the CIGV. The Pathé Dijon complex includes 9 screens with a total capacity of 1,200 seats. Its construction required significant technical achievements. The building was then handed over to the Pathé-Gaumont group for the completion of interior design and furnishings.
4-star hotel
The Sainte-Anne Hotel Dijon, Curio Collection by Hilton, is a 4-star hotel establishment that is an integral part of the International City of Gastronomy and Wine project. With an area of 7,945 square meters, it offers 125 rooms and is equipped with a spa and an outdoor swimming pool.
The covered market
5,000 m² of retail spaces make up the gastronomic commercial village of the city. An ensemble punctuated by artistic gestures inspired by the culinary arts and articulated around original restaurants, wine bars and a spectacular cellar, about fifteen specialized shops offering local products and French gastronomic expertise. In continuity with its Parisian counterpart, a librairie gourmande presents the world's largest selection of cookbooks and oenology books.
The exposure of climates
1,750 m² of exhibition spaces as well as a demonstration shop/workshop are all places of expression for the French gastronomic meal and the Burgundy climats in all their dimensions. They demonstrate their importance within a unique cultural heritage. A visitor ticket gives access to a modern building, the Pavilion of gastronomy and wine, and to a remarkable rehabilitated building on the site, the Chapel, partly dedicated to the Climats of the Burgundy vineyard. These spaces host a permanent exhibition in three acts (At the table!, In the kitchen, In Burgundy) as well as a temporary exhibition, regularly renewed, and whose first, sponsored by Pierre Hermé, has the succulent theme of French pastry.
L’éco quartier
Extending over 3.5 hectares and located a stone's throw from the Garden of Sciences - botanical garden, Natural History Museum, planetarium - and the canal port, the eco-district of the CIGV is ideally situated on the banks of the Ouche river along which a green corridor has been developed. This eco-district is developed in the form of an inhabited park, on the site of dilapidated buildings constructed in the 20th century which have already been demolished. It embodies a new way of living, between culture and nature, in the center of Dijon, while benefiting from the numerous facilities and shops of the CIGV. This complex includes subsidized and owner-occupied housing, as well as 3 managed residences for students, seniors and tourists.
