Le tombeau
Philippe Pot inhumé fut dans l'abbaye de Citeaux dans la chapelle Saint-Jean Baptiste, under a magnificent tomb. The mausoleum is lying Philippe pot-size, borne on the shoulders of eight monks "weepers" of black stone. He was seized as national property May 4, 1791. It was to be carried in the church of St. Benignus of Dijon, a museum, where it never arrived.
After an eclipse over fifteen years, Charles Richard Vesvrotte bought the September 9, 1808 for 53 francs a contractor. He did sit in the garden of the hotel Ruffey. After selling the hotel in 1850 by Alphonse Richard, 2nd Earl of Vesvrotte, the tomb was placed in the crypt of the hotel of Agrain, 18, rue Chabot-Charny in Dijon, then set up in the castle park Vesvrotte.
In 1886 the state claims ownership of the tomb before the trial court in Dijon February 10, 1886. But the Court of Appeal of Dijon August 9, 1886, recognizes the ownership of the tomb of Count Armand Vesvrotte, and lift the seizure March 3, 1887. Eventually acquired in 1889 through the expert Charles Mannheim, it remains today in the Louvre. Phiplippe Pot's grave is in the chapel of the castle of Chateauneuf-en-Auxois
