About

This is the smelliest building in town. As you saunter along the Quai Nicholas Rolin the whiff of spice and vinegar is carried on the breeze. It is also the ugliest.

Built to resemble a metal box, and unadorned by friezes and frescoes, it is worlds away from the renaissance mansions and ducal palaces that grace the centre of Dijon, the gilded capital of Burgundy.
