Longvic lies just south of Dijon and forms part of the metropolitan area, offering a calm residential setting closely linked to the city. The town is historically associated with aviation through the former Dijon‑Longvic airfield, which played a role in regional aeronautical development. Today, Longvic is defined by neighbourhood parks, green corridors and community facilities that support everyday life. Its location allows quick access to Dijon’s historic centre, museums and wine culture, while maintaining a quieter pace at street level. With its mix of heritage traces, open spaces and strong transport connections, Longvic provides a balanced base on the southern edge of Burgundy’s capital.
