Opera in the church

Once century later ,in 1892 , the building  is restored  by its owner  Robert Gouhier de Petiteville , assisted by Christophe Édouard Mauss, the architect of the sanctuary of St. Anne of Jerusalem.
 The ground  is then covered by a mosaic by the famous  Giandomenico Facchina (1826-1903) born as an Italian Sequals , Frioul province), who worked on the renovation of mosaics in St Mark's Church in Venice and,  after settling in Paris, at the Opéra Garnier.

Post office

   In 1906, while the castle of Dijon is finally leveled, the City gives to the French State a plot of land to build a Post Office. In Dijon, Louis Perreau is associated with the architect of the administration to build an edifice of academic style, but innovative in its design. The classic stone cladding is attached to a metal structure. This explains these three large doors with windows and a balustraded balcony supported by high consoles of stone. This set is surmounted by a decoration of polychrome sculptures and mosaics with two medallions of mosaics decorated with the rooster, symbol of the French Republic.
