Saint-Apollinaire

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Côte-d'Or

Located in the department of Côte-d'Or, Saint-Apollinaire its unique feature of his waterlogged soil which earned him a territory studded with fountains. Moreover, its original name in Roman Gaul is Aqualiacus. But it was in the sixth century that everything is played with the construction of a church in commemoration of the victory of Clovis, under the voice of Apollinaire. From there, after many name changes at the whim of priests and nobles overlooking the city, was born Saint-Apollinaire.

In the suburb of Dijon, the city is soon to establish lasting economic relations with the metropolis. Saint-Apollinaire prides itself on being a city flowered and won three successive flowerings of flowers at the regional contest.
