Village located on the heights of Dijon, in the department of Côte-d'Or, Daix takes place in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, not far from Chenove and Bellefond.

Gallo-Roman city, the former Distrus takes its current name in the first half of the fourteenth century. Long dependent on Dijon, the town was for a long time an important wine village of the Duchy of Burgundy. This small town with a quiet appearance and low population has however experienced population growth in the second half of the twentieth century.

Today, Daix attracts as much for its preserved and extended landscapes as for its architectural heritage which testifies to its rich and eventful history. We discover a typical Burgundy style that gives it a certain charm and authenticity.

Things to see and do

Built in the mid-19th century, the church of Saint-Laurent takes place on the remains of a building probably dating from the 11th century. Renovated in the course of the 2000s, it still unveils today a sculpture of a Christ with life-size links of the mid-sixteenth century, liturgical ornaments of the nineteenth century, and a large painting of St. Lawrence dating from the same time.

As you walk through the town, you can discover the old wash house, the Bonnet door, or Devil's door with its sculpted Phrygian cap, or Fort Hauteville. The latter, built in the second half of the nineteenth century, served as a prison for the Germans during the First World War, and is still today under the surveillance of the army. The entire building is listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments.

Haven of peace very popular with locals and visitors, the municipal park of Tourelles opens its doors all year to enjoy the local fauna and flora. The Bois des Pisseux also offers several hiking opportunities.
