The reference to the cathedral is undeniable: numerous details call back(remind) the Gothic style such as it is possible to see it in the north bell tower of the cathedral.
At the level of the decoration of facade, a succession of mosaics evokes the history(story) of a letter transported by land, of iron, from sea and of air and puts away by a factor(mailman) to a beauceronne farmer.
