Dijon - Cote de Nuits Pass
 
Any opinions on the Cote de Nuits Pass available from the Dijon tourist office? We will be in Dijon for the first time several days in June and are wondering what experience others have had using the card - 24 hrs 18 €, 48h: 32 €.

Well, you don't need it for transport. Unless you're there on a holiday or Sunday there's a free bus that runs round the center, and the regular buses are very cheap (see http://www.divia.fr/). Plus the center is walkable. Whether it's worth it for the other things depends entirely on how many you think you'll get to in the time frame. Note that it's not advertised on the French page the way it is on the English!

Hi! That is too bad, an hour ago I was chatting with the agent at the tourist office. I wish I read your question earlier! Honestly I don't know anything about that pass, it seems very new and my guests have not used it yet.
Thursday is right about cheap regular buses(1€ for an hour with changes).
It can be good if you can visit the most expensive sites. Abbaye de Citeaux is already 7€, le Cassisium is 7 or 10€, a guided tour in Dijon is 9€ for 2. Since you can't do a lot of things in a day I'm not sure it is worth the price. Ask the tourist office and they will tell you.
Welcome to Dijon!:-)

"Ask the tourist office and they will tell you. " - well, maybe. But it's the tourist office that is selling it...
