Dijon gave its name to mustard, but the family mustard maker you can visit is in Beaune. Edmond Fallot has been an independent house since 1840 with its mustard mill on rue du Faubourg Bretonnière, west of the centre. The visit is the Beaune activity children like best, and the only one in town that does not revolve around wine.

The visit

The Parcours Découvertes goes through an old mustard workshop, explains the craft and ends with the practical part: you make your own mustard. Afterwards you try Burgundian appetisers served on a plate, take away a gift and move on to the mustard bar, with a range of exclusive products. The visits are in groups of up to 20 people, at fixed times, and are given in French, English, German, Chinese and Japanese: there is no Spanish version, but the mustard-making part can be understood without language.

There is a second route, Sensations fortes, with its own booking. Check on the website what it includes before choosing.

Prices and booking

With the published 2025 rates, adults pay €12, ages 10 to 18 €9 and under-10s go in free. A private group pays €220. Book online on their website, choosing a time; in French school holidays it is wise to do so a few days ahead.

The shop

The house's workshop shop in Beaune sells the house range. It is the place to buy mustard as a souvenir.

Tips

  • Go with children in the morning Making the mustard keeps them engaged and there is a gift at the end.
  • Book a time The groups are of 20 and at fixed times.
  • Buy at the end The shop has varieties that are only sold here.
