Day, in Dijon

Answer:

JOUR

Hint:

Think of how the French might label a calendar date or write "per day" on a menu.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the French word for "day," which is jour. The mention of "Dijon" hints that the answer isn’t in English—it’s French, since Dijon is a well-known city in France. So instead of thinking of "day" as "Monday" or "Tuesday," you’d use the French equivalent. The trick is recognizing the language switch from the location clue.
