Park-and-ride: the budget option

In Dijon

Dijon’s park-and-ride network

The Divia network operates free park-and-ride (P+R) sites around the Dijon conurbation. The principle: you park your car free of charge, and the tram or bus ticket to the centre costs €1.40 (Pass 1 Heure). Parking is free for the whole time Divia’s service runs (roughly 5 a.m. to midnight).

Park-and-ride	Tram/bus line	Time to centre	Particularity
P+R Valmy	Tram T2	10 min	Covered, video-surveilled
P+R Piscine olympique	Tram T1	–	Exit possible 24h/24

All park-and-ride sites are free for light vehicles. Some have electric charging points. Video surveillance is provided at the network’s car parks.

In Beaune

The town centre is easy to visit on foot. In season (1 June to 30 September), the Côte&Beaune shuttle runs every 30 minutes, from 10.30 a.m. to 9.30 p.m.: it is free only for guests of partner hotels.

Motorhomes can stay at the Camper Park Beaune (7 avenue Charles de Gaulle): service area with electricity and dump, around €11.60/night.

Dijon town-centre car parks

Underground car parks

Dijon has 11 multi-storey DiviaPark car parks in the town centre, all managed by Divia (public service delegation since 2017). Parking is paid 24/7, all year round.

The main multi-storey car parks are Grangier (under Les Halles), Darcy-Liberté, Trémouille and Clemenceau, plus the S.N.C.F. station car park (run by EFFIA). Capacities and rates updated on divia.fr.

The Clemenceau car park requires a bit of walking (10 minutes on foot from the historic centre), while Grangier is the most central, under Les Halles and place Grangier. DiviaPark rates vary by car park and duration: check the current rates on divia.fr. The station car park (EFFIA) charges €3.30/h and €17.60 per 24h.

Free on-street parking

There are a few free on-street spaces in Dijon, but they are far from the centre (beyond the boulevards, in residential areas). Examples: rue de Montchapet, rue de la Boudronnée, rue de l’Abattoir. These spaces are coveted by residents and rarely free during the day.

Beaune town-centre car parks

Underground and surface car parks

Beaune is smaller than Dijon, but town-centre parking is proportionally more expensive.

Car park	Type
Parking des Hospices	Underground
Parking Bouzaize	Shaded surface

Parking des Hospices is the most central (direct access to the Hospices and historic centre). Parking Bouzaize is a good compromise: 5 minutes’ walk from the centre, tree-lined so your car does not overheat in summer.

Free parking in Beaune

The nearest free zone to the centre is beyond the ring roads (avenue du 8 Septembre, boulevard Maréchal Juin). 5–10 minutes’ walk from the centre, you may find cheaper spaces, but supply is limited.

Electric charging points

Dijon

The Dijon conurbation has nearly 300 public charging points.

Charging points are compatible with most electric vehicles (Type 2, CCS, Chademo). The Freshmile and Zenpark apps show real-time availability.

Beaune

Beaune has public charging points dotted around the town:

Parking des Hospices
Parking Bouzaize
place de la Halle
avenue de la République (opposite the tourist office)

Rates and real-time availability on the Freshmile app or the City of Beaune website.

Tips for paying less

Park-and-ride + tram: the most economical option for a day visit. Free for the car, €1.40 for the tram, €2.80 return per person. For a family of 4, that is €11.20 instead of €20 to €40 in town-centre parking.
Clemenceau car park (Dijon): 10 minutes’ walk from the Palais des Ducs, a good alternative to the Grangier car park for a full day.
Zenpark app: book your space in advance at some Dijon car parks. Rates are sometimes 10 to 15% cheaper than pay-on-arrival.
Free parking on Sunday: in Dijon, on-street parking is free on Sunday and public holidays. Underground car parks remain paid but sometimes at a reduced rate.
Station car park: if you arrive by car to catch the TGV, the EFFIA station car park costs €17.60 per 24h. P+R Valmy (free) plus tram to the station (€1.40) is cheaper for multi-day parking.

Fines and rules

Dijon

The paid parking zone in Dijon covers the whole historic centre (inside the boulevards). The zone is split into two: red zone (hyper-centre, more expensive) and orange zone (centre fringe, less expensive: hourly rates on dijon.fr). Pay at meters (card and cash) or via the PayByPhone and Whoosh apps.

The FPS (Forfait Post-Stationnement, replacing the fine) is €30 whatever the sector. It is increased by 20% of the unpaid FPS (minimum €50) after three months of non-payment.

Beaune

Beaune town centre is a paid zone (rates vary depending on proximity to the Hospices). The Flowbird app lets you pay from your phone.

The FPS also applies in Beaune: the exact amount is shown on beaune.fr. Enforcement is particularly active in streets near the Hospices and the Saturday market.

Specific rules

Motorhomes: banned in underground car parks (height limit 1.90 m). Use park-and-ride sites.
Heavy goods vehicles: banned from parking in Dijon and Beaune town centres without municipal authorisation.
