Brown seed, verjuice from Burgundy grapes and slow grinding between millstones built Dijon's reputation. Mustard seed was grown in Burgundy until the Second World War. Afterwards makers had to buy it elsewhere, mostly in Canada and the United States. Fallot has been a family business since 1840. At its production site in Beaune it offers two visit routes, one on the history of mustard and one through its workshops. With other regional producers it helped relaunch mustard growing in Burgundy and obtain the protected geographical indication Moutarde de Bourgogne, granted at the end of 2009. The company holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label, which recognises rare craft skills. ## What you will see Taste your way along the counter: classic Dijon, wholegrain, Moutarde de Bourgogne and flavoured mustards. The mustards are ground slowly between stone millstones, an old method the house has kept. On certain days a mustard maker prepares a mustard with Burgundy seed and Meursault wine in front of visitors. The tourist office also runs mustard-making workshops with Fallot, in French, for small groups. Every mustard sold here is made with seed grown in the region. ## Planning your visit The shop is at 16 rue de la Chouette, beside Notre-Dame and the owl. It opens every day, with shorter hours on Sundays. For the full factory tour, visit Fallot's site in Beaune, which is easy to combine with a day in the vineyards. Check the official website for opening times. ## Did you know? Moutarde de Bourgogne has had protected geographical indication status since 2009. Unlike generic Dijon mustard, it must be made with seed grown in Burgundy and Burgundy AOC wine. ## Around Fallot Shop and Workshop, Dijon What to combine with Fallot Shop and Workshop, Dijon on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Dijon](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/dijon) (1 km away): Burgundy's historic capital, city of the Valois dukes and northern gateway to the Route des Grands Crus. - [Marsannay-la-Côte](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/marsannay-la-cote) (7 km away): Gateway to the Côte de Nuits and Burgundy's only village appellation making red, white and rosé. - [Fixin](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/fixin) (10 km away): A quiet wine village with Napoleon in the woods, a Romanesque church in the vines and firm reds. ### Châteaux - [Château de Montmusard](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-montmusard) (1 km away): The surviving wing of a daring neoclassical pleasure house designed by Charles De Wailly. - [Château de Fontaine-lès-Dijon (Maison natale de saint Bernard)](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-fontaine-les-dijon), 3 km away: The hilltop birthplace of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, overlooking Dijon. - [Château de Marsannay](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-marsannay) (8 km away): A modern wine château at the northern gateway to the Côte de Nuits. ### Things to do - [Maison Millière](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/maison-milliere-dijon) (1 km away): A half-timbered merchant's house of 1483 beside Notre-Dame, on the street of Dijon's lucky owl. - [Hôtel de Vogüé](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/hotel-de-vogue) (1 km away): An early 17th-century magistrate's mansion with a glazed tile roof, just behind Notre-Dame. - [Church of Notre-Dame, Dijon (Église Notre-Dame de Dijon)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/notre-dame-dijon), 1 km away: A 13th-century Gothic church with a famous clock, false gargoyles and Dijon's lucky owl. ### Restaurants - [La Maison des Cariatides](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-maison-des-cariatides-dijon) (1 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A chef couple from Le Bristol regains a star behind one of Dijon's most ornate Renaissance façades - [Loiseau des Ducs](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/loiseau-des-ducs-dijon) (1 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): The Loiseau signature in Dijon, served beneath the vaults of a sixteenth-century mansion - [CIBO](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/cibo-dijon) (1 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A starred table in old Dijon that sources everything within 200 kilometres ### Events - **Saturday, 10 October 2026 (Confirmed by the organiser)** · [Show les papilles](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/show-les-papilles-dijon): Dijon's free festival of taste at the Cité internationale de la gastronomie et du vin.
