Free and low‑cost outings spotlighted in Dijon and Bellencombre

In Dijon and the surrounding Côte‑d’Or, a series of free or inexpensive activities are being promoted for the coming weekend and week. Highlights include an illustration exhibition by artist Hervé Melon at the Hôtel de Vogüé (1‑9 August, free entry), the eighth edition of the traditional “fête des escargots” in Villecomte with a market, snail race and culinary demos, and street performances and games in Soussey‑en‑Brionne.

Around Bellencombre in Seine‑Maritime, a day‑trip itinerary under €10 is suggested. Visitors can explore the Val Ygot site, a former World‑War II V‑1 rocket launch base maintained by a local association, tour the Musée du cidre in Rosay, see the historic 260‑year‑old Père Antoine oak tree, and enjoy the tranquil ponds of Saint‑Hellier.

These recommendations aim to provide affordable cultural and outdoor experiences for residents and tourists alike.
