Le baron Albin Reine Roussin, né à Dijon le 21 avril 1781 et mort à Paris le 21 février 1854, est un officier de marine français des xviiie et xixe siècles.
Fils d'Edme Roussin, avocat au Parlement de Bourgogne et d'Hélène Masson, Albin Roussin s’embarque comme mousse à l'âge de treize ans, au mois de décembre 1793, sur la batterie flottante La République chargée de la défense de la rade de Dunkerque. Quelques mois plus tard, il est fait novice sur la canonnière La Chiffonne, employée à l’escorte des convois sur les côtes de Flandre. Au mois d’août 1794, il est embarqué comme matelot timonier sur Le Tortu, et, pendant les vingt-huit mois qu’il passe sur cette frégate, il fait une campagne en Norvège, une à Saint-Domingue et diverses croisières dans les mers d’Europe.

BB 26143R dans sa nouvelle livrée en tête du W 754795 Strasbourg-Dijon Perrigny (Kogenheim, 19 janvier 2017)
Nestled within the historic center of Dijon, the striking façade crafted from yellowish stone stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage. Its weathered appearance lends an air of timeless elegance, whispering tales of centuries past. Adorned with a sturdy door and a window shielded by iron bars, both bearing the marks of age, the façade exudes a sense of resilience and history.
Amidst this aged charm, an entrance to the underground catches the eye, likely once bustling with activity as carts laden with provisions were unloaded and loaded, destined for the cellars of the house. This subterranean passageway hints at the bustling life that once thrived within these walls, adding yet another layer to the narrative woven by this venerable structure.

La BB 7239R assure la traction d'une rame Corail réversible en marche 17757 Dijon - Lyon-Part-Dieu, le train vient de franchir la gare de Gevrey-Chambertin et se dirige vers son prochain arrêt : Beaune. 12/01/2020.
This digital watercolor beautifully captures the essence of Dijon’s charming streetscape, blending a soft yet vibrant color palette that enhances the city’s historical ambiance. The scene features a quaint town square, bustling with outdoor café seating. Empty tables and chairs, arranged neatly across the cobblestone square, await patrons under the shade of large, closed umbrellas. The red umbrellas, central to the composition, create a bold contrast against the more muted tones of the surrounding buildings, drawing the viewer’s eye to the café scene.
The buildings surrounding the square showcase Dijon’s architectural richness. On the left, a stone building with a steeply pitched roof and dormer windows evokes a sense of old-world European charm. Its neutral, cream-colored façade is gently highlighted with soft brushstrokes, giving it a weathered, timeless appearance. Meanwhile, to the right, a half-timbered house in shades of light pink and red stands out. This traditional style, with its visible wooden beams and intricate patterns, reflects the region’s medieval past.
The sky above is depicted with light, wispy brushstrokes, suggesting an overcast day with clouds diffusing the light gently across the scene. The faint gray hues of the sky complement the earthy tones of the buildings, providing a soft backdrop that allows the architectural details and café elements to take center stage. The artist has skillfully used the watercolor technique to blend colors seamlessly, adding depth to the composition without overwhelming the viewer with sharp contrasts.
In the foreground, subtle human figures can be seen, adding life to the otherwise serene setting. A person pushing a stroller and another figure seated at a café table add a sense of casual, everyday life to this picturesque square. The combination of detailed architecture, lively café atmosphere, and gentle watercolor effects creates a warm, inviting depiction of Dijon, blending the historical with the contemporary in a harmonious balance.
