Dijon's Owl

There is a word "Owl Trip" in Korea. As you know this owl doesn't sleep in night with very big dark eye. So if people visit to somewhere to sightseeing without sleeping like as no-night 2 days, we call this as "Owl trip". When I've visit to information center of Dijon in France, they give me the information brochure named as "Owl trip". At first I think what a kindness of Dijon, they prepare information brochure using non-dictionary word for Korean. Of course, this childish dream was broken as soon. This owl of Dijon may be related to anti revolution movement history in 1800's.
By the way, this owl became a representative symbol of Dijon with traditional wine farm. We can find 22 owl marks on the road that lead us to famous places.
