LIFE IN DIJON
Burgundy School of Business is located on a campus just a few minutes' walk from the
centre of Dijon. One of the best preserved historic centres in France, Dijon artfully
combines tradition and modernity, and is ranked the second most desirable town in
France in terms of quality of life.
A city open to the world:
Dijon, a university and business centre, is the capital of the Burgundy region. It is
situated in the very heart of Europe. Its picturesque and bustling pedestrian streets,
flourishing trade, beautiful parks and gardens, all contribute to the town's lively and
warm atmosphere.
A historical city:
Wandering through the streets of Dijon is like a
stroll through centuries of history. From the 12th
century to the end of the 15th century, the Dukes of
Burgundy bequeathed artistic and architectural
treasures to the town, treasures that bear witness
to the Dukes' prestige.
The centre of Dijon, France's third largest historical
area of national heritage, covers an area of over
100 hectares (more than 250 acres) of churches
built between medieval times and the present day,
stately town houses dating from the 16th, 17th and
18th centuries, and medieval half-timbered houses.
A cultural city:
Between visits and breaks to savour gastronomic
delights in Dijon, discover a thousand other
pleasures - theatre, concerts, opera, cinema, the
annual wine festival, the many summer musical and cultural events; visit Dijon's seven
museums, numerous art galleries and exhibition halls.
A business city:
Dijon's enviable situation in the heart of the European
communications network, with a first rate air, motorway
and rail transport system, means that many
internationally orientated companies have chosen to
settle in Burgundy. These companies have a privileged
relationship with Burgundy School of Business, offering
many opportunities for exchanging professional advice
and work experience with our students. The wine trade,
the pharmaceutical and the food-processing industries
are specifically represented. Listed are some industrial
companies based in Burgundy: Alstom, Michelin, Pirelli,
Schlumberger, Schneider, Seb, Sundyne, Tetra Pak,
Valeo.
Climate:
Dijon has a continental climate. The winters are cold and the summers warm and
sunny. The wettest weather is in May, which has an average of 86 mm (3.3 in) of
3
5
rainfall. July and August are the hottest months (average 25°C). From September to
October, the average temperature begins to drop from 17°C-7°C.
FRENCH CULTURE TIPS
Language
French is spoken with a different accent in different parts of France. French people may
not always be tolerant of poor grammar but be prepared to hear many colloquial
expressions – and 'franglais' (a mixture of French and English). As the French tend to
expect perfection in the command of language, they also tend to be very reluctant to
speak foreign languages because they are self-conscious about making mistakes.
Conversation
This is an art and a tradition in France, a country where schoolchildren are taught to
reason and analyse a topic from different points of view. Students' conversations centre
on general topics of social and cultural interests, politics… but seldom on the weather or
money. When speaking, French people interrupt each other continually and argue
intensely even about mere details. Intelligent disagreement is often a pleasure of
French conversation. Critics say the French prefer discussion to action. You may find
that out. Funnily enough, the French use "talkie walkies" and not "walkie talkies",
probably because it's more important for them to talk than to walk.
Cafés
The café is one of the best-known symbols of the
French way of life. It is more than a place to drink, it's
also a meeting place for students, friends and
acquaintances. You can socialize; debate current
affairs or any range of topics or simply watch the world
go by.
Food
Meals are important in every region in France, and you will often find 'produits du
terroir'. This means the local specialities. There are no doggie bags, or leftovers, from
restaurants! Some local specialties are poached eggs in red wine sauce, ham with
parsley, and snails. Always wait until everyone at the table is served prior to starting
your own meal.
Humour
French humour is keeping with the image of France and tends to be 'intellectual'. The
French usually appreciate "esprit" (wit), and witty anecdotes with plays on words. But
they also enjoy caricature and farce, "la BD" (Comic strips) like Tintin, Lucky Luke or
Astérix as well as political satire.
Time
4
6
It's accepted behaviour to be a little late for appointments. You may hear the expression
"Le quart d'heure dijonnais". That's the 15 minute delay the French allow themselves.
For example, in Lyon you have "Le quart d'heure lyonnais" and in Toulouse you have
"Le quart d'heure toulousain"… Doctors are often late but hairdressers and dentists are
usually on time and teachers are also supposed to be very punctual so do not turn up
late to class or you may be denied entry!
Queues
French queues at a bus stop or at the theatre are often disorderly affairs and the French
are known to be great queue jumpers.
Shops
Beware: most shops are closed between 12.00 p.m. and 2.00 p.m. Lunch time is sacred
in France! Shops are also closed on Sundays. Spending Sunday with one's family is
also sacred.
.
Politeness and directness
The French are generally very sociable. One's "merci" is often acknowledged with "je
vous en prie" or "de rien". Before eating together, people say "Bon appétit" to each
other. Passing ahead of another person is excused with a "pardon". But people in
France are often indirect because they are afraid of hurting others' feelings. Therefore
they don't often speak their mind.
Formality
When you are speaking to older people or people you don't know you should say:
"Bonjour Monsieur" or "Bonjour Madame" and please use the "vous"-form. "Au revoir
Monsieur/ Madame", "Merci Monsieur/ Madame" are magic words in France. Be
prepared to answer the questions: "Comment ça va?" or "Vous allez bien?"
Friendship
The French make a clear distinction between friends (amis, amies) and acquaintances
(connaissances). It takes a while to be accepted as a friend in France. A casual
relationship develops into friendship after a certain time. Friends expect loyalty and
sincerity from each other.
Greetings and farewells
The formal etiquette of shaking hands or kissing family members on both cheeks ("la
bise") when meeting or saying goodbye remains a core tradition. Friends who use the
informal "salut" as the accompanying greeting or farewell will shake hands or offer "la
bise". It is polite to say "Bonjour" when entering a shop and "Au revoir" when exiting.
If you make friends with French students, expect to kiss on both cheeks when
meeting and saying goodbye. When leaving, if there is a big group of you, make sure
you leave enough time to kiss everyone!

The French College System
French higher education is characterised by the coexistence of two systems: the
Universities and the Grandes Ecoles. Over the years, the Grandes Ecoles have proven
their efficiency and adaptability in training engineers and managers for business.
The Grandes Ecoles are small to medium-sized institutions which have solid
financial and administrative backing, are highly selective, provide high-quality education
and maintain close ties with the corporate world. The degrees awarded by the Grandes
Ecoles have the same status as public university degrees and are monitored by the
French Ministry of Education. However, they reflect an education based on two
imperatives: the careful selection of applicants, through a highly competitive entrance
examination after two years of higher education, and the training of those students to
reach an individual level of excellence corresponding to the demands of the business
world. The Grandes Ecoles are also known for fostering a "team spirit" which unites the
students in each class of each school. After they graduate, they are reunited in active
alumni networks which successfully help young graduates start their career in France or
abroad. Over two-thirds of the Managing Directors and Chief Executives of the hundred
biggest French companies are graduates of Grandes Ecoles.
There are more than 150 Grandes Ecoles in management and engineering in
France. These schools train over 20,000 students each year. They are grouped
together within the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles, a non-profit organisation that
seeks to promote their activities and contributes to the improvement of their educational
programmes.
In the 1980s, the Chapitre des Ecoles de Management (Schools of Management
Chapter) was created within the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles as an association of
France's top management schools. One of its objectives is to contribute to professional
qualifications in management: it determines the criteria for membership and the
professional standards
in order to create a true
system of accreditation.
Today the Chapter
comprises
30
prestigious
Grandes
Ecoles,
including
Burgundy School of
Business (Groupe ESC
Dijon Bourgogne).
The website of the
Conférence des
Grandes Ecoles has a
good explanation of the

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
France uses the 220 v system and you need an adaptor to change your (US-purchased)
appliances to French electricity.
CAUTION:
Many students who brought their adaptors from the US found that the prongs featured on their
adaptors were too short due to the recessed sockets. An extender plug was required.
Adapters with surge protectors cost around $50 US Dollars.
CELLULAR PHONES
Cellular phones are becoming really wide-spread in France and many French
students own one. Cell phones are a great investment if you get them as soon as you
arrive, because they sometimes have great deals. You also get some free minutes for
the first few uses. It's very nice to have it and be able to receive calls/messages at any
time. If your phone in the US has a SIM card, make sure it is unlocked so that you may
simply purchase a new SIM card upon arrival.
Don't use your cell phone with calling cards because it uses up your minutes. It's
preferable to use calling cards that you can use on fixed phones or public phones
Be advised, though, that calling a cellular phone is expensive You should warn
your relatives and friends abroad so that they are not shocked on receiving the phone
bill.
There are two different types of cell phones that you can purchase: either a contract
phone ("téléphone avec abonnement") or a pre-pay phone ("téléphone avec
mobicarte"). Contract phones are only for those students who are staying at least a
year. The pre-pay phones are for anyone who is staying any period of time. The price of
phones varies between € 20 - 300.
In the Dijon area there are three cell phone carriers:
The Phone House – any carrier, sometimes speaks English – 94 rue des
Godrans
FNAC – 24 rue du Bourg
Orange – 25 rue de la liberté
Bouygues Telecom – 30 Rue Liberté
SFR –28-30 rue Musette
You can usually buy top-ups at tabacs.

the 11th century chapter house houses the collection of ancient Gallo-Roman
sculptures. Additional findings and treasures can be visited in other areas of this
spectacular museum. Entrance fee: free

Musée Magnin – 4, rue des Bons-enfants
The Musée Magnin, in a 17th century mansion, exhibits the personal collection of
Maurice Magnin, donated in 1938. The paintings are good but by less well-known
