This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

PEBFACE.

Tbe chief object of the Handbook for Korthem FraiiQe,
which DOW appears for the fourth time and corresponds with
the seventh French edition, Is to render the traveiler aa nearly
as possible independent of the serrices of gnides, cotn'miflsten-
nairas, and innkeepers, and to enable him to employ his time
and his money to the best advantage.

Like the Editor's other Handbooks, It is based on personal
acqnalntance with the country described, a great part of
whfchhasbeenrepeatedty explored with the vievof assnring
accnracy and freebneBB of information. The Editor begs to
tender his grateful aoknowledgmentB to travellere who have
sent him information for the benefit of the Handbook, and
hopes they will oentinne to favour bim with audi communi-
cations, especially when the result of their own experience,

On the Haps and Plans the utmost care has been bestow-
ed, and It is hoped that they will often be of material serrlco
to the traveller, enabling blm at a glance to aecertun his
bearings aud select the best routes.

A short scconnt of the ordinary approaches to Northern
France for English and American travellers will be found fn
the Introduction.

Heights and Distances are given in English measure-
ment. It may, however, be convenient to remember that
1 kilometre is approximately equal to Vg Engl. M., or 8 kll.
^ 5 M. [nearly] , See also p. sxiil.

In the Handbook are enumerated both the first-clasB hotels
and those of humbler pretension. The latter may often be
selected by the 'voyageur en gargon' with little sacrifice of
real comfort, and considerable aaving of expenditure. The
asterisks indicate those hotels which the Editor has reason
to believe to be provided with the comforts and coDveniences
expected in up-to-date establishments, and also to be well-
managed and reasonable in their scale of charges. Houses of

a more modest character, when good of their clasa, are de-
Bcribed aa 'good' or 'very fair'. At the aame time the Editor
does not donbt that comfortable quarters may sometimea be
found at hotels that are DnBtarred and even nsmentioned.
Althongti prices generallj have an upward tendency, the
average ehargea stated In the Handbook-will enable the tra-
veller to form a fair estimate of his expenditure.

To ttotel-proprietora, tradesmen, and others the Editor
bega to intimate that a character for fair dealing and cour-
tesy towards travellers fa the sole passport to his commen-
datioD, and that advertisements of every form are strictly
excluded flrom his Handbooks. Hotel • keepers are also
warned against persons representing themsefves as agents
for Baedeker's Handbooks.

Lanoiuob.' a slight icqaslntaDce with Fiancli is indispensabls
foithoBBwbadeBiieto explore the more lemote districts of Northem
France, bat t«UTist« who do not deiie(« from the beeUn tteck will
generelly flod English spoken at the principal hotels and the nsuel
resorts o( strangers. If, bowoTer, the; ate entirely ignorant of the
French langaaga , the; most be prepared occasionally to suhmlt to
the extortions practised by portsTS, cab-driTers, and others of a like
class, which eten the dsta famished by tbe Handbook-r^wUl not
always enable tbem to avoid.

HonET. The decimal Monetary System of France is extremely
conTenient in keeping acconnts. The Banqne de France issnei
BanknoUi of 5000, lOOO, 600, 200, 100, and 50 francs, and these
are the only banknotes cnrrent in tbe country. The French Qold
coins are of the value of 100, 60, 20, 10, and 5 A'anca; SUoer coins
of fi, 3, i, Y^, and '/s &anc; Bronit of 10, 5, 2, and 1 centime
(100 centimes = I franc). 'Sou' is the old name, still in common
Qse, for 6 centimes; thus, a 6-fianc piece Is soEoedmes called 'une
place de cent sobs', 2 fr. = 40 sous, 1 fr. = 20 sons, Vi fi- ™
10 sons. Italian, Belgian, Swiss, and Itonmanlan gold coins are rs-
ceWed at their full value, and the Austrian gold pieces of S and 16
Clowns are worth exactly 10 and 20 fr. respectively. Belgian, Swiss,
and Oieek silver coins (except Swiss coins with the aeatad figure of
Helvetia] are alaocnrrent at i^U value; but Italian sUver coins, with
the exception of the 5-lira pieces, shonld be refused. The stranger
shonid also be on his guard agdnst connteifelt eilvei coins, and
should refuse obsolete coins inch as those with heads of Louis Phi-
lippe or ot Napoleon without the laurel wreath. The only foreign
copper coins cnrrent in France are those of Italy and occasionally
the English penny and haU|ienny, which nearly correspond to the 10
and 6 centime piece respectively.

English banknotes and gold are also generally received at the
full value in the larger towns. The table at the beginning of the
book shows the comparative value of the Flench, English, American,

EzFBNBEB. The expense of a tour InMortherDFraDcedepend* of
coarse on the tastes and habits of the tttTdler) bat it may be stated
generally that traveUlng in Frence Is D<rt more eipensive than in
most other countries of Eoiope. ThesedestritLn of moderate reqaite-
ments, who is tolerably profleient in the language and ayoids the
beaten track as much as possible, may limit his eipenditure to
10-12 fr. per diem, while those who prefer driving to walking, cbooee
the dearest hotels, and employ the services of guidas and commis-
sionnatres must be prepared to spend at least 20-30 ft. daily. Two
or three gentlemen travelling together will be able to Journey more
economically than a solitary tourist, bat the presence of ladies
generally adds to the espenses of the party.

Sbaboh. Host of the districts described in this Handbook may
be viiited at any part of the year, but winter is, of course, the least
pleasant season, while spring and antumn are on the whole prefer-
able to snmmei, especially ishen a large proportion of the tra-
veller's time is spent in the cities and larger towns. The bathing-
season at the watering-places on the N. coast generallyl asts ftom
June to September. Excursions in the elevated region of tbe
Vosges are not possible, or at least pleasant, except in summer.

PAssFonte are now dispensed with in France, but they are often
asehll in proving the traveller's identity, procuring admission to
museums on days when they are not open to the public, obtaining
delivery of registered letters, etc. Pedestrians in a remote district
will often find that a passport spares them much inconvenience
and delay.

Sketching, photographing, or making notes near fortified places
sometimes exposes innocent travellers to disagreeable luspleioaa or
worse, and should therefore be avoided.

Cns'T^u House. In order to prevent the risk of unpleasant de-
tention at tbe 'doaane' or custom-house, travellers are strongly re-
commended to avoid carrying with them any articles that are not
absolutely necessary. Cigars, tobacco, and matches are chieSy sought
for by the custom-house officers. Tbe duty on cigars amounts to
about 13i.,0D tobacco to6-10s. per lb. Articles liable to duty should
always be 'declared'. Books and newspapers occasionally give rise to

those who are bound for foreign coDntries are allowed 26 kilogr. only

this being done, the traveller need not enquire after his 'impedi-

(where they vriU be kept in safe custody, several days usuaUy gratis).
Where, however, a frontier has to be croeaed, the traveller should
see his luggage cleared at the custom-house in person. At most of
the railway-stations there is a eomigne, or left-luggage offlce, where
a charge of 10 c. per day is made for one or two packages, and 6 c.
per day for each additional article. Where there is no coniignt, the
employes vrill generally take care of luggage for a trifling fee. It Is
usual to give the railway-porters (facleun) a few sous for their ser-
vices. — It^erpreiai are found at most of the large stations.

the distance and with the company by which they are issued; those
Issued on Sat and on the O'es of great festivals are avattable for
three days or foi fbur days if Hon. be a festiral. The recognised
festivals are New Year's Day, Easter Monday, Ascension Day, Whit-
Monday, tlie 'Fete Nationale' (July 14th), the Assumption (Anf,

Circular Tour Tickets CBUleli de Voyages CiTctdairet') are of
two kinds, vit. 'h itmiTaires fixes' (routes arranged by the railway
compauy), and 'Q itmiraires facuUatifa' (routes arranged to meet
the wishes of individual tcavellers). The former will afl«o be found
convenient as they are issued at reduced fares, with liberal arrange-
ments as to breaking the journey, but they are not usually granted
to third-class passengers. The latter, (bough Issjied for all three
classes, are now subject to a variety of conditions which practically
cancel the ostensible advantages, eicept in the case of journeys of
considerable leug(h. Tourists, before purchasini; one of these 'facul-
tatif ticked, should carefully study the explanatory sections in the
'Indicateui', or apply for information to a tourist-agent or other
authority. Holders of such (ic)<e(B must present themselves at the
ticket-office of the original starting-place and of every station where
the journey is broken and apply for an ordinary ticket in addition.

OjolinK is a popular amuBoment in France, and the cyolial's
wants are BTorywhere fairly woil provided for. CyolletB entering
France with their machines must obtain from the customs-agent a
cycle-permit (60 c.}, which must be catried on the person and pro-
dnned whenavet required. If, however, the oyclisf remains roora than
three oonaecntive months In France, he muel apply for an offldat
metal badge, to be Sxed on the iteering-poat. These badges ar«
delivered (iree on payment of the neceesary feet and the annnal tai
(6 fr.}. Each cyde most have a badge for each seat, and mutt,
moreover, be fnrnlthed with a lamp and a bell or horn. Motor-cycles
pay double tax.

London, S.W.) also enjoy special privileges. Haps, aae p. ixxvi.

HotoTing enjoys an enormoui vogue in France, principally
owing to the absence oCpolice restrictions and to the excellent roads.
On enlerihg the country .the duty on motw-cara must be depoaited
(160 Tr. per 100 kg. for cars weighing not more than 125 lig.;
60 fr. per 100 kg. for cars above that] weight); but the amonnt paid
is refunded without reduction when the country ia quitted. Permits
are issued for 12 months.

Other places the inns geneially letain theii primitiTe piovinciel
characteiiatics , which might prove lathei an attraction than other-
wise were it not for the shunef ul defectivenege of the eaDltar; ar-
rangements. The beds, however, are generally clean, and the cniaine
tolerable. It is tberefoTe advisable to freqnent none but the leadias
hotele in places oft the beaten track of tourists, and to avoid being
misled by the appellation of OraDd-H6tel', which is often appHed to
the most ordiaaiy inne. Soap is seldom or never provided.

The charges of provincial hotels are usually somewhat lower than
at Paris, but at many of the largest modem establishments the tariff
is drawn up on q^uite a Parisian scale. Lights are not generally
charged for, and attendance is often included in the price of the
bedroom. It is prudedt, though not absolntsly necessary, to enquire
the charges iu advance. The following are the average charges:
room I'/r^ fi^M breakfast or 'premier dejeuner', consisting of 'caftf
an lait', with bread and butter, l-l'/i St.; luncheon or 'second
diJJeaner', taken about li ajn., 2-3 ft. ; dinner, usually about 6 p.m^
2V;-4 b. Wine, beer, or cider (the ordinary beverage of Normandy
and Brittany} is generally included in the diarge for dinner, eice{>t
in a few towns in the notth-west. Beer is not oflen met with at
table d'hSte except in the second-class hotels of such towns as Bou-
logne and Le Havre. The second dejeuner will probably be regarded
as superfluous by most English and American travellers, especially
LIS it occupies a considerable time during the best part of the day.
A slight luncheon at a caff, which may be had at any hour, will be
found far more convenient and expeditions. Attendance on the table
d'h6te is not compulsory, bnt the charge for rooms is often raised if
meals are not taken in the house, and the visitor will scarcely obtain
so good a dinner in a restaurant for the same price. In many hoteU
visitors are received 'en pension' at a charge of 6-7 tr. pet day and
upwards fpremier d^euner extra). The usual fee foi attendance at
hotels is 1 fr. per day, if no charge is made in the bill; if service
is charged, 60 c. a day in addition is generally expected.

When the traveller remains for a week or more at a hotel, it is
advisatile to pay, or at least call for the account, every two or three
days, in order that erroneous Insertions may be at once detected.
Verbal reckonings are objectianable, except in some of the more
remote and primitive disbicis where bills are never written. A
waiter's mental arithmetic le faulty, and the faults are seldom in
favour of the traveller, A habit t«o often prevails of presenting the
bill at the last moment, when mistakes or wilful Imposltiona cannot
easily be detected or rectified. Those who intend starting early in

should be required, ot to tend them to a banker. Doors should be
locked at night.

TraTsllera who are not fastidious as to their table-campaniona
will often find ui excellent cuisine, combined with moderate charges,
at the hotels treqaented by commercial tra*eUerB (voyageuTt dt catn-
mtrtt, commit-voyagairi).

Many hotels send 0Tni>l6u«ei to meet the trains, for the use of
which i/j-l ^- <■ ■^llarged in the bilL Before taking their seats in
one of these, travellers who are not encumbeted with luggage should
ucertsln bow fat off the hotel Is, as the pOMcesion of an omnlbun
by no means necessarily Implies long dlBt&nce from the station. Ha
ehonld also find out whether the omnibus will start immediately
without waiting for another train.

BattaiETuiti. Except in the largest towns, there are few pro-
vincial restaorants in France worthy of recommendation to lourlils.
This, howeTer, is of little importance, as travellera may always join
the table d'h6te meala at hotels, even though not staying in the
house. He may also dine h la carU, though not so advantageously,
in which case he ahould note the prices beforehand. The refresh'
ment-Tooms at lellway-etations should be avoided If possible (comp.
p. iTll) ; there is often a restaurant or a small hotel adjoining ths
station where a batter and cheaper meal may be obtained.

X. HiitorioU Bketob.

Keroringiuia. The. histoiy of Fiance, piopeily so called, be-
gins at the end of the flftb century of the Chiietian eta, when
Clovis]. (481-511), son o( Oiilderic, liing of the RipuaiUn Franks
of Toamai, eipelled the Bomans from Noithein Gaul (oa. 406), em-
braced Christianity, and united all the Franks under his sway. The
MtToviTigian Cjiruiat;!, which he fonnded and which took its name
ilom Mtrovtus, the father of Cbildeiic, rapidly degenerated. The
Prankish state was seieial times divided among different princes
of tbe line, and this gave rise to long civil wars and finally to a
deadly rivalry between Aultraaia, the kingdom of the E. Franks,
and Neuitria, that of the W. Franks. Tbe family of Pepin, heads of
the 'Leudes' or great vassals of Austrseia and hereditary 'Mayors of
the Palace', first of Austcasia, and afterwards also of Neustria and
Burgundy, look advantage of this state of atTairs to selie for them-
selves tbe supreme power, after Charles Martel had saved the country
ftom the Saracenic invasion by the great victory of Poitiers (732),

Carolingi&na. The first king of this dynasty was PRFrN tiie
Shokt (It Brep, wbo assumed the crown in 762. His son —

CHAELBMiQNE (768-814), from whom the dynasty is named,
by bis able administration and hy his victories over the Arabs,
Lombards, Saions, Avars, etc, founded a vast empire, which, how-
ever, lasted but little longer than that of Clovis, After the death of
his son —

Lours I. [Ee Dibonnairt; 814-840], his realms were divided by
the Treaty of Verdun (843) between Louii tbe German, who be-
came Kl[^g of Germany; Lothaire, who got ItaJy, Buignndy, and
Lotharingia or Lorraine; and —

Chablbs II, THE Bald (le Cftouue; 840-877), wbo ruled over
France. He and his three successors, Lottis II. thr Stahhebbe (U
Bigue; 877-879), Louis III. (879-882), and Cabloman (879-884),
proved themselves weak and incapable rulers, able neitbei to protect
their kingdom from the inroads of the Normans nor their regal power
from eDCTOachments at the hands of the feudal nobles.

Chablbs III. thb Fat ((e ffros,- 884-867), son of Louis the
German and himself Emperor of Germany, succeeded Carloman in
884, but left the care of defending Paris against the Kormans to
Count Odo or Eudes, Duke of France and Count of Paris, in whose
favour be was deposed in 887. Odo was the ancestor of the Capetian
family (see p. iiv). '^Ti.'

Army. Tho whole of Frince la djTided into twenty ftfliiiartf
Segioni (Rigiom de Corps d'Arm^e},' each under a general of divi-
rian, wbile Paris has a sepaiate miiitary goTeTmnent.

Military service is eompuliory on e'ery Frenchman, not declared
unfit, betveeo the ages of 20 and 45. The Army is divided iota an
Active Army and a Territorial Army, each with its Keeerve. On
a peace-footing the former consists of 572,000 men and the latter
of 800,000 men, forming a Wt»l of 1,372,000. On a war-footing
these two armies combined rise to a total of 4,000,000. The total
sum expended on the French army in 1901 amounted to 27,730,000^

Natt. For naval piSposos France is divided into five Priftclures
MajUima, the seats of which are Cherbourg, Brest, Lorient, Rophe-
' fort, and Toulon. The fleet conalste of about 600 war veMeta in
commission, including 48 ironclads, 66 cruisers, 236 torpedo-boats,
and 20 transports. These are manned by about 43,000 men and
2000 officers. In 1901 France eipended on her navy 13,130,000(.

JirsTrcE. -Each cantoQ contains a Jnatice dt Paix or Jaitlce of
thtPtact; each arrondisBement a Tribunal of tht First Initanct; and
each department i Ctmr d'Anista, or criminal court. Above these
are 26 Court d'Appet, or courts of appeal, in the principal towns, and
the Cow de Cassation, or supreme court of appeal, at Puis. There
are also Commercial, MUitary, and Naval Coarii in places where
such tribunals have been found desirable.

I and thirteen years. In the budget s mm of about 9,000, OOOt.
e aet down for the Minletei of Public Instruction, nearly two-thirds
being allotted to elementBty educstion.

The Higher Edueatlan is entrusted to sixteen VnivtrHUei,
which until 1696 were linown as 'aoad^mieg uniierEitaires'. Two
of these uniiersities (those of Paris and Bordeau*) have the tit fac-
ulties of theology, law, medicine, science, andlettersi three (Lyons,
Nancjf, Lille) haVe four faculties, eight have three, two have two,
and two (Marseilles and Kouen) have one faculty only. There are
also 'Facultris' o! Frottilant Tktclogy at Parts and Hontauban, and
fiomon Catholic Imtitutes at Paris, Angers, Lyons, and Lille.

Secondary Edtieation is ioiparCed by about 110 Lyciei and 290
CoUigeiCommunaux, including aSlyc^ea and 23 aolleges for girls.
In addition to tlieee tliere still exist a large nnmber of private
colleges.

There are altogether 70,288 Elemtntary Schools. ■

The educational work of each department is presided over by an
Inipecltur d'Acadlmit, and each arrondissement has an Ituptctevr
(j'/nif ruction Primairc

In addition to llie aboTe-mentioned schools and coUegea are
numerous Technical and Special Instilvtioni .

BBuaioN. All religions are equal by law, and three sects, cii.
BomanCathoUci, Prolettanlt, and Jtun, receive grants from gOTern-
ment. The overwhelming m^oiity of the inhabitants of France
proper or aboDt 38 millious out of 39 millions, are reckoned as Roman
Catholics. The hierarchy of the Roman Catholic church embraces
17 Ardibiihopt and 67 Biihops, whose sees are generally (not always)
coextensive with the departments. The sees of the archbishops are
at Ail, Albt, Auch, Avignon, Basanfon, Bordeani, Bourges, Cambrai,
Chambtfry, Lyons, Paris, Rhelms, Rennes, Rouen, Sens, Toulouse,
and Tonrs, The regular clergy number shout 66,1)00.

The ProUitanti, who number about 600,000, are divided into
Lulharani uii Calviniits , both governed by PiesbyteHal Councils
or Gonsistotiea, several of which together may Term themselves Inlo
a Synod. The Lutherans possess in addition a General Synod, or
supreme oouncil.

The nnmber of Jews in France does not exceed 77,000.

XII. Maps.
The best maps of France have hitherto been the Cartel de t'Elal-
MajoT, or Ordnance Maps of the War Onice. One series of these is
on a scale of 1 80,000, and includes 273 sheeU, each 2"/ift. long and
I'/if'-f^de, while another, reduced from the above. Is on a scale of
1 : 320,000 and consists of 33 sheets (1 for 16 of the others) or 11
for France proper. These may be had either engraved on steel (3fr.
per sheet) or lithographed (60 c). The engraved maps are con- .

mtainonei regioni, but the litbogcaphs
UBS and ue more i^oqaently bronght up
ot date. The larger BOate map is also Utaed In quanei sbeeli (1 b.
engiavadi 30 c. lithographed), whlnh aie intended altimately to
iupersede the larger sheelB.

As, howevei, theae maps were eiecuted entirely in black and
were, besides, becoming antiquated, the War Offlce has undertaken
two new EerisB, which aie printed in five coloursj one on a scale of
1 : 60,000 (not now sold to the piibUc) and one on > scale of
1 ; 200,000. The sheets of the laUer (l>/2 fr. each) aie 26i/, in. long
and 16 in. wide, and each corresponds to foul of the first-men'
tioned map.

Other mapi {all in several colours) are those iseued by the Min-
istry of the Interior in 1891-04 (1 : 100,000; 80 c per sheet), by the
Ministry of Publio Works (1;200,000; 40 c. per sheet), Bhowingthe
elevatlonB, and by the Dtfp6t dee FortUcationa (1 ; 500,000; V% fr.
per sheet).

All these maps may be obtained in the chief tourist-reaoTta, but
It is advisablB to procure them In advance. The following shops in
Paris hsTe always a fall supply on hand: Berrirt, Rue du Bae i;

Havre, and Botdeaui among the seaports of Fiance. Its commercial
importance Is iDcieaslng, and in 1879 eitenaive operationa were
begun with the view of enlarging the port, bnt their completion
has been deferred owing to the lack of funds. Tlthln the port new
atone qnaya have been built and the harbour deepened to enable
vessels to arrive and start at low water. The Bauin H flat, a large
aemlciroalai baain on the left bank of the Ltane, waa conawucted by
Napoleon to aocommodste the flotilla which was to convey his troopg

longed to a church begun In 1326 and flnished In 1520, on a site
previously occupied by two earlier churches. Childerlc 111. died in

so that lodging Id the tovn is not reoommended, more especially as
the odonis emitted by the harbour at low water and the dose con-
tact with (he flshlng population are anything but agreeable. An
attempt has been made to create a visitors' quarter on the top of the
cliff by the constroction of nights of stairs with 378 steps, but' the
speculation has hitherto failed and the streets remain unbnilt.

The only noteworthy edifices in the old town are the MUl dt
VilU (with a small museum), in a tower of the 16th cent. ; a Timbtr
Houit dating from the Benaiesance period (higher up, to the right,
opposite the church) ; and the Churei of St, Jacqua, which rises
aboTe the harbour, ihe chief objects of inleiest in the last, which
was built in the 16th cent., are the key-stones of the vsulM, the
Descent from the Gross in painted atone, and the piscina in a chapel

its deep and safe harbour, Etill carries on a considerable trade in
coal nitii £ngland and in timbeT with Norway and Sweden. Dieppe
is also a fashionable watering-place, being annually visited by
namerou a English, >b well as French families. Captured and destroy-
ed several times dnring the ware between England and France and
■rterwards in the religious wars, Dieppe suH'ered severely Siom tbe
plague in 1668 and 1670, and in 16'J4 the citadel and town were
reduced to ruins by the English fleet returning from an unsuccessful
attack on Brest (p. 217).

atiuctora replete with every convenience and including a small
theatre (adm., see p. 39). The terrace in front is reserred for sub-
scribers; below it are the dressing-cabins. In One weather the scene
is very amusing.

The site of the casino was occupied Dntil the end of the llth

On a precipitous white cliff at the W, eitremlty ofthe Plage rises
the Caslle (Fl. B, 1, 2), with its maesive walls, towers, and bastions,
efeiHSaih 1436 as a defence against the English. In 1694, howeier,
it was unable to resist the cannonade of the English Heet (p. 39).
The castle is now used as harrachs, and visilors are not allowed to
pass through it to the flne points of view on the adjoining clitfs.

We regain the town by the Rue do la Barre, whlob is continued

The chnrch of a Remy (PI. 6; C, 2), not far from the castle,

of tbeTraoBition style of the 12th cent., altered iu the 15th and IGth,

is a sqnaie tower, Bariaounted by an octagonal atory capped by a small
stone Bpire. "We enter by the double portal on the S. side, an ele-
gant work of the 16tb cent., but unfortunately mnr.h mutilated. The
interior, which has no transepts, possesses considerable antiquarian
interest. The nave and part of the choir show both Norman and
Qothic arches, and groined vaults, tbe eompartmenta of which are
separated by arched joisti, as in barrel-vaulting. The triforium is
formed by a row of twin-arches. The aisles eiblbit vaulting in
which the pointed arch is used, and the apsidal obapeU have stilted
vaulting. The apse, recently restored, ia lighted by flie rose-windows.

Lt Havre, lormwly cahtid Havrt-de-OrSct, from « chapel of
NotiB'Diime-de-Qrice founded by Louia XII. in 1509, is a iiand-
soms town with broad streets, but it contains few special points
of interest. Ita situation at the mouth of the Seine fa eitremely
advantageous, and, next to Maieeilles, it Is the most important sea'
port in France (130,19li inhab.). The buildings and tbe commerelal
prosperity of the town, wbicb Is mainly derived from its ship-bailding
yaida and sugaT-teflneries, are of very recent origin.

The Importance of Le Havre dates from the relfn of Francis 1., wbo
fbrtlfled it In ISIS and endeavoured to make it a harbour of the first rank,
thencB to carry ant his naval schemes against Engiand. Inlfilfi he assembled
here 176 a^l, the atUek of nbicb on <he Isle of Wight was, however.
repulsed. Is 1663 La Havre was occupied by English troops for a sburt
Uma. Under Btehelien and Colheri the prosperity of tbe town rapidly
IncreatBd, and In 1691 the English UbbI mada a determined bnt nnsuccesf
tul attack on the new rival of Sngliah commerce. In 1796 Admiral BIr

ot the citadel, wu taken prisoner by the French.

From the Place Tblere, the centre of the town, we follow the Rue
Alexandre Legros to the abbey. Tbe Abbey Church, a most interest'
Ing relic of the ll-16tli oeni, conceals an interior of great beauty

Etrttat, one of the moat fashionable watering-places on the N.
coBBt of France, is a small town, with 1944 inhab., situated, like
most of its neighbours, at the foot of lofty cliffs, here 300 ft. high.
It ie surrounded with pretty villas and attractive country-houses,
but It possesBcs no harbour. Elretat is especially affected by artist'

>nd lIlerKTy men, who are attracted by its pktare«qae aad cuiioas
•itaation, bat tbe$« have bronght in their train enongb of the heh-
lonable vorld to render tbe cost of living bere coneidersbl; bigher
then at lesi pretentioue but equally comibrtable vaterlng-placM on
tbe same coaet.

The Bailway Station, beyond wbicb is tbe Grand-Val (see below),
IB at soma distance from the beach. On the way to the latter we
pass the Romanesque Church. The Btach is protected from the Eea
by a sort of ambankment of shingle ; and a terrace, with the Cotbio,
hae been conetructed. The batbtng-establishcnent is to tbe right;
Qie left part of the beach Is used by the flsbermen for hanling np
their boats, and for their 'Ciloges', i.e. old boa ta turned upside down
4ad need as huts for storing nets, etc.

The aiffi at Etretat are among the most interesting on this coast.
Both the Falaiit d'Amont (lo the right) and (he Falaise d'Aval (to
tbeleft)arepi«lc«dbyPorlet,woinby tba action of the sea, and the
aame cause baa produced yarious curious pyramidal and needle- like
formationa. The ascent is arduoos, especially in warm weather, bnt
there are almost no other walks in tbe neighbourhood. At low wa-
ter the cUDs may be reached by the beach , thongb the path to the
Falaise d'Avsl by this route Is faiigDing. It ie batter to arrange to
return by the beach, if tbe tide will permit.

The Falaitc d'Amont is ascended by a long flight of steps , be-
ginning on tbe beach. On the summit are a modem cbapel and a
aignsl-posL Near the Utter a plctaresque bat rough path, to the
left, leads down to a short tunnel, at tbe other end of which is an
iron ladder (Impassable by ladies) descending to tbe beach.

To reach the top of tbe Paliiiit SAval ws pass behind the H6tel
Blanqnet and folloff fltst the Hue de la Valette and then the lele-
giaph'Wires. The aspect of the cliffs, stretching as far W. as the
Gap d'Aiitifer, Is highly plcturesi^ne. A small grotto at the (op of
one of the needle-rocks nearest to Etretat is dignified with the name
of the 'Ohambre des DemoiseUes'. Another ea-vern below, near the
'porte', which we pass if we return by the foot of the cliffs, is called
the "Trou t TUomme', In about 15-20 min, after leaving Etretat
we Teach another rocky gateway, known as tbe Afortneporle, whence
■ zigzag stairvray descends to the beach. Many people will prefer
to come thus far in order lo bathe at liberty, instead of paying for
one of the atifling bathing-boxes at the Oaslno.

In tbe.Orand-Val, the valley to the right of the railway. Is the
Pamlt , a promenade to which admission is gained by payment.
Farther on are the Frottatant Chaptl (service in summer at 10 a.m.)
and the new FuUia Qardens.

CbarlBS, Sire de Lannof and viceroy of Naples, were natives of tbis town.

Immediateiy oatEide the railway-etation is an attisctive sqnate,
on the foimer glaais of the fortiflcations, 'which were demoliehed in
1892. We turn to the right and enter the town hy the Bhb Ferrand,
paEEing theL^c^, foTmecIf a Jesuit college, and tbe Eooie dee Becmx

minerals. Part of the old Jesuits' College is occupied hy the JWunf-
ripal Library, containing ^,000 toIe. and 772 M8S. (open on week-
days, 10-1 & 5-3), and the smalt Mntie Bfnfxtth (books, etc.).

The Place Carpeaui, a little farther on, is embellished with a
bronze statue, by Carpeaui, of Atiloinf Wrdttaa (1684-1721), the
painter. The fonr Bgnree surrounding il represent Italian comedy.
— In the same sqnate rises the church of 5t. Glry, a Gothic edlHca
partly dating ftom the 13th cent,, though the elegant tower is
modem. The fine wood-carvinga in the choir (partly 16-17th cent.)
illustrate the life of St. Herbert, the founder of the Preemonstra-
lensian order. In a straight line front this point is the handsome
PUsct d'Armea; the timber dwellings here date ftom the period of
the Spanish occupation (ITth cent.). — The *H6ul dt VUU, in tbis
Place, is tbe most Interesting building in Valenciennes. It dates
from the 17th cent., with the exception of the imposing facade,
which was rebuilt in 1867-63. The latter consists of a row of Doric
colamna supporting a similar row of the Ionic order, above which
are Caryatides bearlog an open gallery, a pediment with sculptures
by Carpeanx representing the Defence of Yalenoienues, and a cam-
panile of two stories. The second lloor is devoted to a Musle of
Painting and Sculflme, with a yery extensive collection of works of
the Flemish School (open to the public on Thurs. & Sun., and on

The Bosne (PI, F, 3), a brick and stoue ediflce, with shops on
tbe groundflaor, v&a begun under the SpunUh dominion in 1652.
The court (apply to the coTicierge if closed) la surrounded by arcaded
galleries and contains a bronze Etatue of Hiapoleon I. by Lemaire
(1854). The Column in the centre of tbe Place commemoratea the
gallant defence of the town against tbe Auetrians in 1793. On tbe
Bide of tbe Place next theSuedesManneliersiises the Orand' Qarde,
built in ni7, and now occupied by the military staff.

The HAtel de Tills (PI. F, 4) wis erected in 1847-59 in the
Renaissance style, tbough the S. wing dates ftom Louis XVs reign.
It occapies the site of a palace of tbe dukes of Burgundy and con-

tiie Sqtiart Jtintiea, with a monument to Deirousseaui (d. 1892), a
Lllte poet. The Bne Nationals now intersects the Boulevard de la
Libertfi (see below) and leads to the Place de Strasbourg (PI. D, E,
4), in which is a Monument to A, Testetin, organizer of the national
defence in the H, of France in 1870-71. Farther on is the church of
the Saeri-Caurf a new and elegant structure in the Gothic style, of
which the tower is not yet completed.

The handsome BovUcard de la Llberti (Pl.D, E, F, 3-5), which
forms the boundary between the old town and tbe new quarters built
in the Parisian style, begins at the Esplanade (p. 96) on the N.W..
and leads to the S.E. to the extensive Place de ia Ripublique (P!.
E, 6), in which rises an •Ejturjlrian Staltit of General Faidhtrie,
by MerciS. To the N.W. of the Place rises tbe spacious Prifecturt
(PI. E, 4, 6), dating from 1865-70, to the W., the HStel dei PoUet,
and to the S.E., the Palais det Beaux-Art), near which is the Frm'
iaini Vallon.

The Falaii das Beauz-Arti [PI. F, 5), a striking edifice, designed
by Bfrard and Delmas, was opened in 1892, hut represents only
aboat one-half of tbe original plan. The collections which it con-
tains are among the most important in France, the 'Pietnre QaJlerj
being especially rich in examples of the Flemish and Dntch schools.
The other collections include drawings, sculpture, antiquities, and
9 of ethnography and industrial and decorative art. The

Stdan, a town with 19,360 inhah., formerly strongly forti-

time belonged to the Dukes of BonlUon (p. 130), and the revolt of one
of these noblemen in 1691 led to the siege and capture of Sedan by
Henri IV, Sedan is well and regularly built, and carries on a pros-
perous mannikatare of fine cloth; but it ts uninteresting to the
stranger. Within recent years the fortifications have been removed,
and their place largely taken by handsome bouses.

Near the beginning of the village of Bazeiltes, lo tbe left of the

the fact that thla was the last French position in tbe village,

house in the whole Tillage not burned down, now contains a small

with fine stsiaed glue of the 13t1i century. The finest part of tie
churoh Is, however, tbe beautiful FUmboyaDt Cloiittts, tti the N. of
the DATe, dating from the 16th century. Theie sie enclosed on both
Bides by six double arcades resting on very light and graceful columns
and sejiaratedfFom each other by email truncated columns. The clois-
ters give OD a small sqnaie, thioagh which we may reach the chaicb
of St. Etienne, vii the Rue Lafayette (right). Rue Miehitel (left),
and Rue LioiivUle (right).

•St. EUennt, the former Cathedral, is noteworthy for Its size
and its harmonious proportions, and still more for its bemtiltil W.
front, which is Qanked by two light and graceful towers, terminating
in oclAgonal lanterns. The choir and transepts (both with fine stained
glass), date from the 13th, the facade from the 15th, and the nave
from the 14th and J6th centuries. The •Cioislera which adjoin thieflne
church on the 8. were built in the 13'14tb cant, and are larger and
of an even more perfect style tbaii those of St. Qengoult. They form
a rectangle, 75 yds. long and 55 yds. broad, and consist of 22 sections
with four arches, each with foar small clustered columns and two
small isolated columns, besides the archway to the court. — The
Chaftl entered from the cloisters contains a large altar-piece, ulth
figures in full relief, representing the Adoration of the Shepherds.

The large and imposing H&tel de Ville, formerly the bishop's
palace, bnilt in 1740, contains the public library and a small museum.

cross the river and reach (210 M.} Liverdim, finely situated to the

esting sculptures, dates from the 13th cent. ; the governor's house
from Che 15th. — The tunnel (to the left], 550 yds. long, by which
the canal is carried beneath the town, and the bridge (to the right)
by which it crosses the Moselle, near the railway- bridge, are strik-
ing examples of engineering skill. The scenery at this point Is, per-
haps, the most beautiful on the entire journey.

The im^josing Cathedral of St. Fietre lies about 1/2 M. to the left
of the station, i^d9ely'a^tilned by the'former episcopal palace and
other buildings. The greater part of the church dates from the
l^^t^.^fiSW ^ut the S. lower, the only one with a spire, was re-
bnilfTn thBl6-17th contarlea. The transept is lurmoontod by a
lantern-tower. The facade is simple and severe, but the 3. side is
embellished with a striking portal, w^cb.B.uskin calls 'one of the
moat qnatiit and interesting doors in Normandy', the work of which
is 'altogetlier rude, but full of spirit'. The nave, the most ancient
portion, was built at a single epoch and by a single architect, and
is distinguished In consequence by the harmony of its style and
proportions. The Tarioua chapels were added at various dates. The
Lady Chapel was erected in the 15th cent, , by Pierre Gauchon,

nnder Qeaeral Bligh, wlio deitroyed the foitffi cations snd burnt the Bhlp-
pinc and all the nsTal itorei, thoagh he left tbe town and Iti Inbahltantl
nnmoleBted. In April, 1311, the Dae de Berrl landed here, and In Aug.,
1630, Oharlei X., the ex-kinf, embarked at Cherbourg for England.

The town, moat of which is modern, well-built, and clean, is
eomparatirely uninteresting. On quitting tbe station (PI. E, 6), the
visitor finds himBelf at tie E. end of tbe town, and at tbe S. end of
the Commercial Barbour, which is situated at the mouth of the
IHvettt and the Trotehte. This harbour, of quite secondary import-
ance to the naval port (aoe p. 162), comprisea two basins and an
entrance-channel, 660 yds. long, Sanked by granite breakwaters.
Large qoantitles of butter, eggs, and poultry are exported hence to
England.

Tbe RotnsTBAS of Oherbonrg, which lies in Icont of the two
ports, has a total euperfldes of 4 sq. M., but as certain parts of it
are too shallow for large ships at low water, the total available
anchorage is about one-fifth of that, or about 600 acres. Though
sheltered on three sides, this roadstead is naturally exposed to the
fall force of gales from the N., and Vauban, the great military en-
gineer, seemed almost to be flying in the face of natare when he
proposed to establish a naval port here. The efforts to protect the
anchorage by means of a 'digue' or breakwater, placed about V/2 M.

'St. Pierre (PI. D, 3), in tbe bouterard of the game name, is a
most Interesting example of Qothle architecture, though dating from
various epochs from the 13th to the 16th centnry. The chapels and
the turret ot the *Ap8«,_"^it5" Te'ry elaborately decorated, were added
In the Renaissance period. The most striking feature is the *7(>ipct
Cibp Ct.1. to the right of the main portal, a masterpiece of the bold
and graceful style of art which prevailed at the beginning of the 14th
century. The spire is pierced, and its base is snrrounded by eight

had eommitted in marrying within the forbidden degrees of con-
sanguinity. La Trinity, with the exception of one chapel, on the
right of the choir, in the Trensition style, is Norman-Romanesque;
It was skilfully restored in the last century. Two square towers rise
on the W. fa^de and another from the transepts; all^three, long

IVoucilb-rar-tfcr, pleMantly sitiuted >t the mouth of the Toti-

Normandf. The season Usta from July to Octoher and is at its height
in August, when living here is eitremely expensive. Fifty years ago
TrouviUe vii a hnuible fishing-village with a small hiibour; now
it has 6137 inhab., and the heach and adjacent slopes are covered
with handsome villas and country-houses.

The BaUiBcy Station (PI. C, 5] is situated on the left bank of
the river, between Deauville and TrouviUe. We cross a bridge to
reach the tatter. The Harbovr (PI. B, G, 3-5) is mnch used by
fishing-boats and also carries on lome trade in timiier. The church
on the hill to the right of the hetboar, Notrt-Dame'dta-Vietoirts
(Pi. 6 ; C, 4), is a modern erection. The FUh Market (PI. 8 ; C, 4),
near the end of the quay, preseoU an interesting spectacle when
the flshing-hoats coma in. Thence the important Rue des Bains
leads to Nolre-Dame-de-Bom-SteouTS (PI. 6; C, 3), another email
modem church, with s fine facade and a Renaissance tower. Beyond
the ftah-market rUes the HSUi dt Vilit (PI. 4 ; C, 3), in the style of
Louis Xin, to the left of which is the Place de la Cahotte (ferry, .
seep.lTl).

The *Bea(A (flagt) of Trouville (PI. B, C, % 3), stretching from
the harbour to the Hotel des Koches Noires, a distance of about
2/3 M., is one of the finest in France and during most of the day in
the season thronged with holiday-makers and bathers in fashionable
and attractive costumes. It is bordered for nearly its entire length
by a broad paved or boarded promenade. It has been pithily des-
cribed as the 'Sammer Boulevard of Paris'.

The Casino ff 1. 1 ; C, 3), known also as the Salon, \ large edifice
on a terrace overlooking the beach, rebuilt after its coriDagratioii in
1903, offers all the attractions common to fashionable institutions
of the sort. Theatrical performances take place thrice a week, and
a grand ball U usually given on Saturdays. — Another small Cttfjno
was opened in 1892 ou the Prominade Pier (PI. C, D, 1), at the other
end of the beach ; adm. to pier 10 c, gratis to passengers by the

DeavoiUt, which shares the railway-station with Trouvill*, may

plan was never carried out and the town presents the appearance of

Lion-sar-Mer is tbe leading watering-place on the W, coast of
Calvados, though it is less pretentious than Boulgate or Cabourg
and has no casino. The whole coast to the W. of Caen, though a
little ahbgly, is very suitable for bathing, and at places it rises in
ciiffs of some height. At certain poijits the end of the season is apt
to he accelerated by tbe smell of the sea-weed cost up In large
quantities by the sea, which though used as manure by the peasants,
is seldom wholly carted away before it begins to decay. There ate
few distractions at these watering-places beyond those offered by tbe
sea and the beach. The batbing-boies are large enough to be let
(2&'45 fr. per month) as day-quarters for visllors.

Avrancht*, one of the oldest towns In Normandy, with 7384 in-
hab., is pletnTeeqaely sitoited on a hill on the left bank o( tbe 8(t,
commanding an eiquisila and justly famed 'View of the Bay of St,
Michel. The direct footpatJi to the town aicenda to the right from
the Gtation, but carriages muat make a detour to the left.

Tbe name of the town is deiived from tbe AbrincaUH, wbo are men-
llooed br PllDT. Tbe Cimlai Abiincatvm was one of tbe imporiant c[liea
in tbe SEcond Lupdunfniin In Ihe Olbcenlurj. Thebisbopricot Arranchea
was probably founded in (be etb oenlury. From 1431 ItU lUO the town
wu occupied bj tbe KnelEflb, AvrancbeB suffered severely at tbe bands of
tbe HuguenolB) >nd in 1691 il BlubboniJy resisted the Iruops of HEnri IV,
on Ibe ground tbat he wu a Proleitant. Jn July, 1639, tlie revolt of (he
JfuPUdi, or armod rIainE of tbe peuanlry against tbe 'Oabellfl', broke out
at ATranchea. The rlBing wu put down with releoUeu cmelly.

Airantbes at one time possessed a beantlful Nocman-Gothic
cathedral, but this wae destroyed in 1790, and only a few «bapeleee
rutns in front of the Sous-Prtffeotwre ate left to recall it. An inscrip-
lion on a broken column indicates the spot where Qenry II. of
England did hnmble penance in 1172 for the murder of Thomas
Becket. The Police commands a flue view. The Bi$bop'i Oardat,
to tbe tight, farther on, contains a marble statue, hy Cartellier, of
(lentTal VaUiabert (1764-1806), who was bom at ATtanchee. The
PalalA dc Juitlce [the old Bishop's Palace) , which stood to the left
above the garden and contained a small mus^e, was eniitely butned
down in 18D9. A little to the S. is Notre-Dame-dti-Champi , the
principal church in the town, recently rebuilt in a miied Gothic style
of the 13-14tb centuries. The stained windows are fine. The church
of 51. SatuTnin, a few yards to the left of the apse of Motre-Dame,
Is built in a similar style, llie interesting Jardin dei fVan(ci(good
view) is entered from the W. side of tbe square In front of Motte-
Dame. The church of St. Gtrvait , nearer the centre of the town,
dates from the i7tb century.

Quitting the station and crossing the river, we soon reach the
Place Mitheau, named in honour of two famous architects of Dreni,
who DonriBhed in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Church of St. Pierre, a Gothic ediQce of the 13-15th cent.,
shows traces of the handiworli of the M^t^zeaus. Only one of its
two towera has been finished (in the 16(licant.) and the exterior la
much weathered. The Lady Chapel and the chapels of the aisles
contain eome good old stained glass (reetored). The former has alio
a One organ-case, designed in 1614 by Clement Mdtrizean.

The H6tel de Ville, which Msambtes a large square donjon,
was built between ibOfl and 1537 and illustrates the transition bam
the medixval to the Renaissance style. The facade on the side
farlhest from the Place is Qanked by two projecliug turrets at the
angles, and is embeUished with blind arcades and elaborate csiving
ronnd the door and windows. The staircase and tbe lanltiDg in the
interior should be noticed. A clock of the 16tb cent, a few works
of art, and the small library are also shown to vidtors.

The route to the Chapelle Boyale crosses the square In boM of
theUStel deVilie (to the left, the.Ba<piIa£ CAap<J, of the ITthcent.)
and follows tbe Grande Hue and the Rue des Tanneurs (leading to

follow a lane behind the Palais de Justice, and finally pass through
a small gikteway to tbe left Tbe remains of the CattU, part of wbicb

In 1808. It consists of two distinct parts, vii. the lower town,
the larger half, betiveeo the station and the harbour, and the upper

glais, which we reach most directly by skirting the left margin of
the lake and passing through a magniflcent avenae of Louisiana
cypresses, said to be nnique in Europe. The English Park contains
streams of water, a chalet, and a hermitage. To the right of this
park, to the N.W. of the lake, is a Dairy constructed by Louis XVI,,

in 1194, and the cathedrttl in its present form probaUy dates mainly
from tlie Hist half of the 13th century. The principal tower vas
almost wholly reliailt in 1507-14. Ita vast dimensioni, the hugs
blocks of stone employed in its conetmction, the simplicity of its
design, and the grandeur of its conception combine to invest this
cathedral wltli an air of the moBt impressive dignity.

The largo ♦JT. Facade, which Is somewhat soTere in generaJ
aspect, is plercecl by three doorways lavishly adorned with scolp'
tures, representing scenes in the life of Jesae Christ, with statues
ajid statuettes of Prophets, the Elders of the Apocalypse, and other
Biblical characters. Above the doors are three pointed windows,
surmounted by a handsome rose-window, above which again runs
an arcade with sixteen large statues. Over the arcade rises a gable,
containing a flgorB of the Virgin between two angels and bearing
on its apex a figure of the Saviour. The tower nart of this facade
dates from the 12th. the rose-windojr frqm the mh, and the higher
partrnsto- tBI'13-llth centuries. The statues fn the doorways are
stiff and "Byzantine In type,' vrith Sat faces, short arms, elongated
bodies, and ungraceful drapery; but they are, nevertheless, •
distinct advance on anything previously achieved, and mark an
epoch in the history of art. The facade is flanked by two fine
*Taiven, rising to a height of 350 ft. and 375 ft. The older of the
twoTTo the 8., beautifnl as it is| is thrown into the shade by the
richly adorned spire added to the N. tower in 1506-14, which is
described by Fergnsaon ('History of Atchlteclure') as the most
beautifully designed spire on the continent of Europe, surpassing
those at Strassburg, Vienna, and Antwerp in elegance of outline
and appropriateness of design.

The 'Sidt Forlals, which are much more elaborately decorated
than those lii tm~W. ?ronl, date from the 13th cent, and are preceded
by porches 5f .the li(h canlnrv. The sculptures on the N. portal
represent scenes fromjh^jjfjjjf the Vi^in, anttffios'e ontBe 'STthe
LaEt_Judgjaept. The nobis style of thelarge statues, tbe wonderful
expressiveness of the statnettes, the variety and life of the bas-
reliefs, and the finish of tbe mouldings combine to range these
portals among the most splendid examples of monumental sculp-
ture. There are two towers flanking each of the side-portals and
one on each side of the beginning of the apse, but none of them
have been carried above the springing of the roof. — The CSiapelle
St. Piat (16th cent.], adjoining the chevet to the right, is entered
from within the cathedral by a. staircase. To the left of tbe chevet
is the Biihop's Palact (17th cent.).

LaviA, the capital of the department of the Mayatne and the
seat of a bishop, is a town with cotton manufactories and 30,3613
inhab., situated on the Mayenne. It was taken by Talbot in 1428,
and changed hands several limes during the ware of the League and
La Vendue.

The Kue de la Gare, lo the right of the station, leads to the Rue
de la Pail and the Font-^tuf, whence a Une view is obtained, on
the left, of the cathedral and castle, the Pont-Vieui, eto., and, on
the right, of the viaduct and pleasant promenades, ^eyond the
bridge we reach the Place de rH6tei-de-Ville, embellished with a
bronze statue, by David d' Angers, of Ambtaist Pari, styled the
'Father of French Surgery', who was born near Laval about 1510.

Thence the I!ae de l'H6tel-de-Ville leads to the left to the Cattle,
which consists of two parts, the 'Old' and the 'New'. The Old Cattle,
a sombre-looking ediSce, now a prison, Is seen to most advantage
from the Rue du Val-de- Mayenne, near the river. Visitors are ad-

and picturesque in the town, exhibiting a singoUr amy of old and
Eombre-looking boaiea of timber or stone, with galleries, ecalptared
ornamentation, balconies, and porches of the most varied descrip-
tion. In eome cases the upper stories project over tbe foot-pave-
ment so as to form covered arcades resembling those at Berne and
not unlike the 'Rows' at Chester.

In the Place du Ch^telet, to the left oF tbe Rae Beaudrairie, is
the lemar^ans^ptrdnce-gatewa^of tbe Ca»tU, an imposing brown
e.lidce, dating mainly from the 14-16tb centuries. Tbe present re-

tiiry. Therlghtwinghas been converted into a prison, hnt vjaitqis ftffl
admitted to tbe rest on application to the gate-keeper. The Public
Mustiim and Library are established in the donjon-tower. The
castle belonged to the Seigneurs de la Tr^moilie, whose motto ('post
tenebras speio lucem'), above the gateway, is supposed to refer to
their attachment to the Reformed faith. MaguAfiSjit view from

At the end of the Qdsi de l'Un!Teieit€, to the left, rises the
Chiimber of Comment, a Urge structure in the RehaiEsance etyle,
only partly completed.

The Pont de Berlin, to the right of the Quai de I'UnlTersitd, and
the street forming ita continuation lead to the Place du Polaii
(PI. B, 0, 2, 3), one of the principal open Bpaces of tho town.

On the N. side of this Place stands the FalEiii de Jnitioe (Fl.
C, 33, the finest secular edifice in Rennes, erected in 1613-&4, by
Jaeques DehroBse, the architect of the Luxembourg for the Parle-
ment of Brittany. The somewhat heavy facade is preceded hy statues
of D'Argentr^ (1519-46), La Chslotais (1701-85), Gerbier {1726-
88), and TouUier (1752-1836), four eminent Iswyere of Brittany.
Several of the rooms in the interior are adorned with paintings by
Cioypel, Joiisenet, Gosse, Jobb^-Du-val, and other well known artiits
(apply to concierge, at the end of the corridor on the right ; fee).

To the S.W. of the Place Aa Palais lies the Plact de la Mairie
(Pi. B, 3), the centre of the tramway- Bystem (p. 206). The H6tel de
VUU here, rebuilt by Gabriel, the architect of Louis XV., after the
great fire of 1T20 (p. 206), is in the form of a semicircle between
two pavilions and is surmounted by a tower ending in a bulbous
dome. The Thtatrtf on the opposite side, is also in a semicirculai
form, but presents its conTei side to the Place. — Adjoining the
Hfitel de ViUe is the Library, with 80,000 vols., 600 MSS. and
nnmeroug incunabula.

To the N.W. of the H6tel deVille is Si. Sauvtur (Pi. B, 3), a
church of the 18th cent., containing a canopied high-altar, ■ hand-
some pulpit, a bas-relief of the marriage of the Virgin (altar on the
g.), and sUtues of 3S. Peter and Paul.

A little farther on rises the Cathedral (PI. A, 3), ■ buUding of
ancient foundation but dating in its present form mainly from the
Idth century. The facade is in the cliasica) style. The interior is
adorned with patntiugs by Le HrinafF and Jobbj-DnTal. The last
chapel in the 9. aisle contains a fine allar-piece, in carved and
painted wood, executed in the 15th century.

In the lane opposite the cathedral rises the Porte MoTdtlai$e
(PI. A, 3), an interesting relic of the mediaval fortifications of the

Wb now follow the Rue de la Monnale (PI. A, 3, B, 2). The fourth
turning on the left brings ub to a Bmall e^uare with a bronze statue,
by DoliTet, of ieperdrt, maire of Rennes during the Terror, who had
the couiage to resist the ferocious Cairrier (p. 244), Farther to the K.
is the large uoflnished modern Gothic church of tlatn-Dame-dt-
Eonnc-ffouutWe (PI. B, 2J, whence the Rue St. MeUine leada Ifl the
E. to the ehucch of Notre- Dame-en-Satnl-ltielalne (PI. D, 2), an
abbey-church of the ll-i3th cent., with a tower surmounted by a
moderD statue of the Virgin. The chief inteiior adornments are the
monument hy Valentin (near the entrance], the Qotbic high-altar,
and the choir screen in carved wood, all modern.

A litUs fatihei on, to the right, le tbe Ihabor (Fl. D, 2), jiait of Die

joined by the Jordtn da Plaaui (PI. D, !), which Is open to the public

From the Place St. Melaine we return by the Contour de la Motte,
passing the modern ChapelU da JUiisionnotm, the Prtfeciure, and
the promenade of La Afollt, upon an ancient moat-hill. The Hue
Victor-Hugo leads thence to the right to the Place du Palais, while
tbe Roe Gambetta descends straight to the Vilaine, which it reaches
beside the new iVniveniti (PI. C, D, 3), with a faculty of science.
On the opposite bank begins the Aienue de la Gare (p. 206).

The tovn U built on two looky bills on the hanks of the Penfeld,
which forms the naval harbour, the chief part being on (ho left banS.
Three roads lead to the town from the Station {PL E, 3), wliich lies
outside the fortifloatians. That straight in ftont conducts us in a few
minutes to tbe Flmi du Oiamp-de-BataUU (PI. D, 3), ^iS the Forte
Foy, the Kue Voltaire (left), and the Bue de la Rampe or Rue
d'Aiguillon (right). The two last streets lead on heyond the Place
to the Em dt Siam (PI. 0, 3), tbe principal street in Brest, while in
the other dliention they end at the Cours Dijot (see helow). — The
Avenue dela Oare, to the right from tbe station, leads to tbe upper
end of the Rue de Sism, which descends thence to the naval har-
bour. — The street to tbe left from the station passes between the
commercial harbour and the Cours Dajot to tbe Place du GhJteao.

The Commetciat Barbovr [Pi. E, 3), of recent construction, in-
cludes at present four hasins, with a total area of 100 acres, with two
moles, and a breakwater '/a M long. The Coutj Dajol (PI. C, D, 4)
is a handsome promenade laid out in 1T69, and embellished with
statues of Neptune and Abundance, by Coyievox. It communicates
with the commercial harbour by flights of steps. Tbe * Vitvi of tbe
roadstead thence is particularly fine.

Brait Rcadi, In which leveral men-of-war are usual1)> anchors], are
formed of an irregular baj, 11 M. long and 7 M. wide, almost landlocked

derneau falls ; Ihe other is the Bras rfs CAflntnulta (p. 559), which receives
the ChiteauUn or Aulne.

At the W. end of the Cours Dajot, on a rock overlooking the
harbour, risas the Cottle (PI. C, 4), an important military work,

modified by VaubBiiAroai a construction of the IdthceDtory. Visitors
■re admitted on application at the entrance (at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., or
4 p.m. ; fae), but there is nothing of great Interest in Oie interior.
The *View bom the Tour de Brest, on the side next the haiboni,
is, however, Tsry flne. Including the donjon, the eaetle has eight
tovera, the original conical looti of vhtch were replaced by Vanban
with platforms, on which can . . ^ •

dungeons are shown to the ri
tale of honor or Buttering.

The *N».T».L HiBBouB (PI. B, 4, 3, 3] is a sort of canal, 3 M.
long, averaging 100 yds. in breadth, and from 30 to 40 ft deep,
excavated in great part from tbe living rock, at the mouth of a
small stream called the Fenfetd. It has been made accessible from
tbe castle by levelling the ground. It ie most conveniently reached
from the centre of the town by the Rue de Siam (PI. 0, 4).

The 'Swing Bridge {Pont ToumanI; PI, B, 4), »t the end of
this street, constructed in 1861 to connect Brest with Recouvrance,
is one of the Urgest of the kind in existence. It is 125 yds. long,
with an average height of upwards of 65 ft. Tbe two Iron wings of
which it is composed tain upon tower-shaped piers ; four men can
open or shut tbe bridge In 10 minutes. The visitor will hardly fail
to be struck with tbe combined boldness and lightness of this re-
markable structure. A bridge-of-boats for foot-pass an gets crosus
the harbour below tbe swing-bridge.

Perhaps the best general survey of the naval port is obtained
from the swing-bridge, though as the canal forms a ssries of enrvea,
concealed by the rising banks, nothing like the whole of it can be
seen from any one point. The animation and variety of the port,
with the immense magazines, workshops, barracks, etc., lining it
on both sides, are more easily imagined than described. No one
»t all interested in naval matters should fail to endeavour to obtUn
permission to inspect the dockyard, which employs between 6000
and 9000 workmen. Foreigners, however, Teq.uire a special per-
mission ftom the French Admiralty,

The towJi offers few other points of interest besides those al-
ready mentioned. The principal church, 51. Louii (PI. C, 2), though
founded in 1638, has only recently been finished. In the ambulatory,
to the left, is a Qne 13th cent, tombstone with a recumbent statue,
discovered under the floor of the church In 1698.

Near tbe upper end of the harbour, on tbe righl Himi, la the SlaNliu-

The railway -ststion is situatBd in the suburb of Kocabey, near
the harbour, tetween St. Malo and St. Servan, and about '/j M, from
each. To reach the former, we turn first to the right, and then to
tbe left, between a wet dock and the inner leaeiTolr. The tramway
route (b min. longer) traverses the Siiion, an embankment 220 yds.
long and about 150 ft. broad, which connects the rock on which the
town stands with the mainland.

The i/oriour (recently completed), in ■ shallow bay between

222 Rovte 30. ST. MALO. From Renna

St. Htdo and St. Servan, consists mainly of an ontei basin, a tidal
harlioar, two wet docks, and an inner t«eeiTOii. 8t Halo Is the
twelfth port in France in point of Importance; It imports timber and
coal, exports provisions of all kinds to England, and takes a consider-
able sbare in the Newfoundland cod-ftshery.

At the end of tbe Sillon next tbe town, to the right, is the
modest Casino (free adm.), in front of which is a bronze Statut of
Chi^aubriand (p. 221), by A. MiUet.

As we enter the town by the Forte St. Vincent, with its flnely-
scnlptnred coats- of- arms, tbe CailU, dating front the 14-15th cent.,
and now used as barracks, stands on our right. It consists mainly
of foac towers, one of which ma; be ascended tor the sake of the
view. An almost e^aally extensive and mora varied view may,
however, be enjoyed from the 'Sampart) enclosing the town, which
date chieny from the 16th century. Visitors should not omit to make
the circuit of the (own on the ramparts, both for the sake of en-
joying the curious appearance of the town, and also for the view of
the bay, which is finest when the tide is full. The bay is dotted
with fortified ialeta, one of which, the Qrand-Bty, 560 yds, from
tbe town, contains the simple tomb of Chateaubriand (d. 1848).
St. Halo is remarkable for ^e great height to which the tide rises.
Ordinary tides rise from 23 to 26 ft, spring-tides 48 ft above low-
watar mark; and at low water an immense tract is uncovered, so
that it is possible to walk dryshod to the Grand-Bey. — On the
Quai de Dlnan is a statue of Robert Sareoaf (_17T3 - 1827) , the
privateer, by Ciiavanlez (1903).

Most of the Etreels are steep, narrow, and tortuous. From the
small Plaet (Sialeaubriand, in front of the castle, we ascend to the
centre of the town by the Rue St. Thomas or the Rue St Vincent
(opposite tbe gateway), and then turn to the left.

The Pariih ClaiTch, formerly the cathedral, Is built mainly in
the Qothic (15th cent.) and Renaissance styles, bat some parts date
from the Transition period, and the elegant spire ia modern.

Tbe best part of tbe iDt^rloi ii the eholi, -which bag a Bne IrlFoTlum
Bad three nlDdows filled with moderD itiined glut. The Ivaiy ntaie of
Ohriet traclDg the palpIO, a modem tamb to the right, and other seulp-
tureg are well executed, aed lercral of the pictarei alio are of lome valuej
the Utter, however, are bidly li^hled.

The street nearly opposite the front of the church leads to anotbei
(mall Place, embellished with a marble Statue of Dngaay-Trouin
[p. 221), by Moiknecht — The lUul de ViUe, also in this sqnaie,
contains a small Masit (open to the public on Sun. and Thnrs.,
1-4) and a LlArarv (open on other days only, at the same hours).

Tbe 3ea-bnlhing EitabUshment lies beyond the castle, to the E.
of (he town. Tbe beach consists of &ne sand, and slopes gradually.

small harboarB at the month of the Banct: the Port dt Solidor and
the Port St. Fire, between which ri^es the 14th cent. Tour de Solidor
(Tisilors admitted; tIow). These harbours are separated from the
bay of Lt> Sablont by a locky promontory, crowned by a foit on the
site t>t an ancient town called Alelh. The small Bathing Entahiiih'

long and 130 ft. high. — Thence we ascend direct to the centre of the
town, the narrow streets of which contain many quaint old houses.

The chntch of St. Suuueur, in the nelgbbonrbood, to the left, is
a curious edifice, the right side of which is Romanesque, the left
Gothic. Tbe Romanesque portal is nnfortunately in very bad pre-
servation. The right wall U adorned on the exterior with arcades
and mouldings, and a tasteful Gothic chapel was added at the third
bay in the 16tii century. There Is but one aisle, consisting ot the
Qothic part of the W. arm. Tbe cboh is also Gothic. The holy-
water basin, supported by Caryatides, to the left of tbe entrance,
dates from the 12th century. In the N. transept is a stone marking
the spot where the heart of Bertrand Duguesclin is buried; and in
one of the choir- chap els, on the same side, are two tasteful Ootbic
credences. — The cemetery of this church is now a Public Oarden
(•View).

The narrow street opposite the left transept is continued by tbe
Rue Croii-Qnart to the old Bite du Jtnual, leading to tbe Forte da
Jertunl, one of the most curious parts of the old town, Ootbic out-
side and Romanesque within, A little to the left is the PorteSt. Malo,
a similar but less interesting structure.

The street leading to tbe S. from the Porte St. Halo debouches
in the Eue de I'Horloge, neat the 16th cent. Tour de I'Horloge.
Short of the tower, on the right, is tbe Place des Cordeliers, beyond
which is the Grande Rue, leading back to the H6tel de Vllle.

8t. Malo, to the right, near the latter, is a large church of the
l&tb cent., the W. arm of which was rebuilt in 1865-65. In the
interior is a large modern painting by Archenanit, representing
Christ trinmphing over Death and Sin. Tbe handsome high-altar
has bas-reliefs from the life of St. Mate, and a statue of that saint,
by Savary.

5aumur, m old to\ni with 16,223 tnbab., is eitasted on the left
bank of the Loire and on an island la Ibe riTei. At the end of the
16th cent, it w»s one of the ehlef Btrongholfls of ProWatantisin in
France, and it was the eeat of a Pcoteltant nnivereity previous to
the relocation of the Edict of Nantea. At that time (1685) ita
prosperity greatly declined, owing to the eipuUion of the Hugue-
nots, but it began to revive in 1T68, when a iarge Cavsliy School
was fonnded here. Its sparkling wines have some reputation. The
town proper ia bai-ked on the S.E. by a hill crowned with wind-
milts and a Caitlt of the lltb, 13tb, and 16tb cent, (uninteresting).

Leaving the Oare d'Oritfans, we cross the rivet and tbe Island,
on which are the ruins of a ChSteati of the Quttn of SkUy, built by
Ring Ren£ of Anjoa (15th cent.). We enter the town by the Place
de la Bilsnge, at the ends of the Rues d'OriSans and de Bordeaui,
which traverse the whole town. To the left stands the handsome
Theatre, built in 1864. Behind it is the Gothic Hotel de Ville,
mainly of the 16lh cent., containing a smaU musenm (open on
Snn, * Thura., 12-4; closed in Sept.; entr. in the street to the
left). Adjacent (No. 3, Rue Cours 9t, Jean) is the entrance to
the pretty Oiapelte 81. Jean, in the Romanesque and Gothic styles,
with fine vaulting (when cloaed, apply at 26 Rue St. Jean). — Tbe
Rue St. Jean leads to tbe left to tbe church of 5(. PUne, a building
of the 13th cent., with a facade of the 17th century. The S. transept
ends in a Bne Romanesque portal. The beautiful cboir-etAlls date
tmm the 15th century. The sacristy contains two fine pieces of
Upestry (16th cent.). — About Va H- to the E. is Noln-Dame-dei-
Ardttiiert, a domed church of the 16-17 th cent (interesting interior),
at the foot of the Bntte des Moulina (view of the Loire).

The quarter at the foot of the hill, beyond St Pierre, contains
the Prottitant Church (in the cUa^cal style), the CoUigt, the
Jardin d« Ptantei, and Notre-Dame-de-Nantilly, The eitorior of
thia church is uninteresting, with the exception of the portal, which
belongs to the original edifliie but has been apoiied. The interior,
however, partly Romanesque (ll-]2th cent.) and partly Gothic,
la noteworthy and contains some important works of art (bas-
relieh, tapestry of the 15-18tb cent, an oratory made for Louts XI,,
etc.). — The street opposite this church passes near the Qare de
1'Etat and ends near the Pont Foucard, which we cross to reach
Bagneux (p. 235). To re-enter the town we keep to the right.

The EcoU de Caoalerie, a handsome building near the river, a
Uttle below the town, contains about 400 pupils in training as
cavalry ofDcers and riding-masters. EqnesBlan eihlhitloDi QOk-

Anjou, and now the eapltal of the department of Malne-et-Loirt,

oosly eitnated on the navigable rivei Maine, which Joins the Loire

Buburh of La Dovtrt on the right bank. Angers was tormerlr very
badty built and vai known as the 'Black Town' on account of Ifg
Eombre appearance, but in the 19th cent, it underwent an almoBt
complete transformation. Its ancient ramparts were replaced by
handsome houleTards adjoined by modern suburbs, new streets were
opened up, others were widened and etralgbtened, and nnmerons
large edifices, quays, and bridges were constrnctad.

tiaTersing the town before lie confluence. The commeTce i.Dd la-
^Qstry of Nentes h>ve long rendered it one of the meet flooiiihlng
towns in France, and with regard to population it ranks seienth in
the country. Its harbour has latterly lost mach of its importance,
the approach to it being too natiow for the large ihips of modern
times, but in 1881 the authorities began the constrocUon of a lateral
canal, which, it is hoped, will restore the town to the rank it has
lost. Sugar forms the principal article of commerce in Nantei, and
the town contains seiera] large redneriee. Tobacco, sardines, and
preeened meats of all kinds are also among the chief industrial
products, and the outskirts of the town are thickly sprinkled with
Iron-works, ship-building yards, and factories.

less than fuur months, until at last he himself was denounced, recalled, and
sent in liie turn to the scaffold.

Nantes is nowadays a handsome modern town, but the abeeuce
or main thoroughfares makes it difficult for the stranger to Bnd
his way. Its most characteristic features are the numerous bridges
OTer the different arms of the Loire and the Erdre, the harbour,
and the fine bouses of the ISth cent., wbich line the q^nays. Thers
are, however, comparatively few buildings of interest.

The railway from Orleans is prolonged along (he quays on its
way to Bretagne (R. 34). Near the station, to the right, is the Place
Ducheisi-Anne (PI. F, 3), where the Cours St. Pierre (p. 247) and the
new street described at p. 216 begin. On the flight of steps ascending
to the Cours is the Vtmumenl PourlfDrapeauCfortheQag'), abronze-
gioup by e, Barean, erected in 1897 in memory of 1870-71.

On one aide of the Plaoe rises the CmUa (PI. F, 3), an imposing
building of very ancient origin, but In its present form dating mainly
from the end of the t5th century. It bad formerly seven tevets, bu

We continue to follow the qnays, passing the end o( the Rue
de Straebourg (p. 247), and cross the canalised Erdre at Its Junction
with the Iiolre. Farther on, in the Place du Commerce, stands the
Exeliange (PI. D, 3), bnilt in 17S2-1813. Beyond it, in the small
Place de la Bourse, a statue of Colontl de-ViUiboU MurtuiUp.'iA'i'),
by R. Veilet, was erected' in 1902. To the left is the little lit
Ptydiau. We neit roach the Gate de la Bourte (PI. D, 3 ; see
p. 1U3), and the Quai de la Font, skirting the hurboui. The Edict
of Nantes is said to have been signed in the Maiton dcs TonrtlUa
(No. 0). Mo. 17 also deserves (ttention.

The Aue Jean-Jaequet Roui'tau (PI. D, 3), which leaves the
quay between the Exchange and the Oare de la Bourse , leads to
the Place Orastin (PI. D, 3), the centre of flie town. In it stands
the Grand ThfStTt, buUt in 1783, hut several times restored since
then, with a Corinthian colonnade enrmounted by the ftgnres of
eight Muses. The vestibule contains statuea of Gornellle and MoliAre
by Holfanecht and the anditorium has a Sue ceiling-painting.

To the S.W. of the Place Oraslin extends the Coars de la Si-
pnhliqne or Camhronnt (PI. G, D, 3), a promenade embellished with
a bronie statue of Omeral Cambronne (1770-1842), a native ot the
environs of Nantes, erected in 1848. On the pedestal is inscribed the
answer he ta laid to have given at Waterloo : 'The gaard dies, hat never
Bnrrenders'. The statue was eiecnted by Jean Dabay, a native artist.

A little to the N. of tbe Coars Cambronne, in the Rue Voltaire,
stands the Ecole des Scieneei (PL C, 3), erected in 1831 , and nsed
first as a mint and then as a court of Justice. Its handsome facade,
In the dassical style, with a sculptured pediment, is turned towards
the Place de la Honnaie. Besides the law-courts it now contains
an important ■naenm of ITBtural History (Fl. G, 3), open to the
public on Sun., Tues., Thars., and holidays, 12-4 (closed in Sept.^.

street, is the Passaob Pohubbatb, which la built In three stages,
with connecting stalicaseB, owing to the fact that the atieetl which
it joins are not on the same letel. It Is adorned with statuettes by
Debay and medallions by Oiootaeis, both natiies of Mantes. It
emerges on the other side in the Rne de la Fosse, near the Bourse;

The Rue Gr^biUon ends at the FUce Bo7«Ie (PI. D, E, 3^, an-
other scene of great animation, embellished with ■ large modern
'Fountain, in granite, byDrioUet, witii thirteen bronze statnee and
statuettes by Ducommun and Groataers. The marble status on the
top represents the town of Nantes; the others, in the hssin below,
represent the Loire (seated on a throne) and its ptindpal affluents,
the Sivre, Erdre, Ohei, and Loli.

In the lieinity rises the handsome modem chuidi of Bt. BinolM
(PI. £, 3), designed by Lsssns in the Gothic style of the 13th cent.,
with doable aisles and an imposing tower, 278 ft. high. The moat
sBriking points of the interior are the Iriforium, below which mns
a beautiful band of foliage; the high-altai, in white maible, with
bas-reliefs and a ciborium terminating in a loft; pyramid ; the gilded
choir-screen; the pictmes, by Delannay, in tbib transept-chapels t
the stained-glass windows; the altar in the Lady Cbspel; and the
tomb of Hgt. Fonruier (d. 1877), bishop of Nantes, in the left aisle.

TheBuB de Feltre, to the N. of the rhurch of St. Nicolas, descends
to the Erdre. Thence it is to be prolonged through the old quarter
on the opposite bank(PI. E, F, 3) towsrds the Place Ducheise-Anne
(p. 244), forming with de Rue du CaWrire an important new artery
of trafSc.

At the end of the Rue Lafayette, which diverges from the Bus
du CatvaiTc, is the Palais de Jnstioe (PI. D, 2), a large and hand-
some bailding, dating from 184&-D3. In the centre of the fatade
is a colonnade surmounted by an arcade, with a fine group by Sue,
of Nantes, lepresenting Justice protecting Innocence againat Ciims,

We now return to the church of St Nicolas, descend to lh«
Erdre, and cross it, in order to reach the Basse- Grande-Rue on the
opposite bank. In this street, to the right, is the church of 5te. Croix

the architect Btlllt and the sculptor Paul Duboii. Below a canopy lies a
white marble flgure of the general; at tbe comers ace bronie statues of
History, Cliarity, MlliUry Courage, and Faith, and bas-reliefs run along
the Bides.

The Street to the left of the cathedral leads to tbe Plaoa
Lonii Bdie (Fl. F, 3), in the middle of which is a Column, 90 ft.
high, animounted by a Statue of Lotiit XVI, by Molknecht. Thia
Flaee lies between tbe Court Si, AndH and the Cmut St. Pierre,
laid out as a promenade in 172B and fHimisbed with other mediocre
Etatuee by Molknecht. The Cours St. Andr^ extends to Che left to
the Erdie, while the Ooora 91. Piene descends to the right, passing
behind the choir of the cathedral, to the Place Duchessfr-AoDe and
the Quai de !a Loire, near the chateau (p. 244).

In the Rue du Lyc^e , to the E. of the Couis St. Piene , is the

Loritnl, s fortifled miliUry and commarcinl port, with 44,640
inbab., le situited od the ScotIT, near Its Junction with the BUvet.
It iru fonnded, under the name of I'Orient, in the 17th cent, by ths
powerful Compagnle des Indea Orientales, nho eBteblished their
ehip-boilding yarde beie. When the company oollapsed after the
capture of Bengal by the British in 1763, the dockyards and woika
wore purchased by the ttate.

The town is well built but uninteresting. The Bus Victoi-Hassd,
diverging to the right from the ptolongation of the Oours Chazelle,
leads to the Place /fAUaci-Larraine, the principal square. The Rue
des Fontaines, quitting the latter at its left angle, condueta os to two
amatler squares, in one of which is the Church of St. LouU (18tb
cent.) and in the other a bronze Sbitue 0/ RisJon, a young uaval lieu-
tenant who blew up his ship in 1827 to prerent Its falling into the
hands of Greek pirates. To the left of St. Louis is a small Municipal
Muteum (open on Sun. and Thnrs., 12 to 4 or 6; on other days on
application). The Coars de la Boia, to the right of the church, leads
to the o^mmeicial harhour (see below); in this promenade is a
*8tatut of Victor M-iiif i;l8!H-84), the coropoaer, by Merci«. The
Rue du Port leads from this statue to the dockyard.

To Tiait the Dockyard, with the eiception of the part near the
Place d'Atmes, which is always open, foreigners require a special
permit fVom the Ministry of Marine. At the entrance is a Signal
Tovcr, 136 ft. in height. The arsenal is interesting, though not so
important as that of llrest. There are also workshops at Caudan, on
the left bank of the Seorff, which is crossed by a floating bridge.

The Commerciaf Harbovr lies at the S. end of the dockyard,
between the town proper and a new suburb. It includes a dry dock
and a Soatlng-dock. The trade is chiefly connected with the re-
qnirements of the dockyard.

The Boadtltad, beyond the two harbours, Is formed by a deep
and safe bay, 3Vi fd- long, with a fortifled island in the middle.

The first side-street to the left beyond the commercial harbour
brings us to a square with a Statue of Britevx (1806-58), the poet.

and 260 ft. in diameter, consisting chlefiy of blocks of stone heaped
np over a dolmen. Fine view from the top, including the 'Lines'. The
famous AUgnemtnti ofCamac, situated about '/^ M. to tbe N. of the
village, near the road to Auray, consist of three principal groups of
respectively 874, ^5, and 262 sunding-stones (there are said to ,
have been originally 12-15,000), arranged on a moor in the form
of a quincuni, and forming 9 or 10 avenues. Some of these stones
are fully 16 ft. high, and some are estimated to weigh at least 40-60
tons. Tbe largest are in the Kerlescan group, beyond a farm on the
right. About 1 M. to the E. of Carnac Is a piece of moorland named
the Bossenno or Boceno (6o«nfeu^ mounds), where Ml. Mi In's ex-

From Carnac the tramway proceeds, passing the salt-works of
BrSno (on the loft), to (S/^ M.) Porten-Dro, or Ploffe dc Camae
(Gcand-H6t. de U Plage), with an excellent bitbing-beacb, and ter-
minates at (O'/^M.) La Trinitf-sur-flfer, a small seaport, with oyster-
beds. The road thence to (Q'/a M.) Loomariaquer (carr., p. 269)
crosses the river One'i by a [VaM.)bridge and enters the Peninsufa 0/
Loemariaqner, which bounds the Morbihan on the N.W. (see p. 254).

Loomariaquer (HUel Marchand), a small seaport on the Mor-
bihan, has in its neighbourhood perhaps tbe most remarkable me-
galitbie monuments in France. The chief of these are the Man>-
Lud, a dolmen of unusual size, the interior of which should he in-
spected; the Men-tT-Hroeck, a menhir originally nearly 70 ft. high,
now overthrown and broken; and the two dolmens known as tbe
Dol'ar-Matc'kadoitiren and the Manl-Butual. All these are passed
on the way fi-om Carnac to Locmariaquer. Keyond the village is
tbe Mani-et'Hroeck, a tumulus with a cavern (key at the Matrie,

bani of the Loir, occupies the site of the Gallo'Boman Ctslrcdu-
num. In the middle agee it was the capital of the Comtesde Dunois.
It has been frequently burned down, on the last occasion by the Ger-
mans in 1870.

The avenue in front of tbe station and the Bub Charlies, 10 the
left, lead to the Piaee du Dlx-Huit Octobre, with tbe HOtelde Ville
(small Mus^e) and a modern Renaissance Fountain, by Gaullier.

Tbe Eae de Luynes, to tbe right of tbe Hotel de Ville, leads to the
'Caitle, an Interesting ediflce, shown on application to the concierge.
The original fortress was ererted in the lUth cent. On the pointed cliffs
ahoie tbe I<oir ; tbe donjon, a huge round tower, 150 ft. high, to tbe
left of the courtyard, was rebuilt in the 12th cent.j tbe chapel and
adjoining facade were added by the celebrated Dunois, commonly
called tbe 'Bastard of Orleans', in the 15tb cent, ; while the fa;ade on
the right side, with its elaborate eitemal ornamentation, dates from
the 16th century. The Interior contains a restored chapel, a Renaie-
eance staircase, and tbe 'salles dee 400 gardes'. The Tiew of the castle
from tbe banks of the Loir (descen^njthe left side of the castle] is
highly imposing.

The small neighbonring square contains a mined Gothic chapel,
and farther on , as we descend on the other side of the castle , are
some curious old Houset. Opposite the end of the Hue da Cbatean
is a bouse witb a carved wooden Benaissance facade ; and at the end
of the next street is a stone facade of tbe same period.

The adjoining Egliie de la MadtUinc (12th cent.) belonged to an
abbey, of which tbe buildings to the right and left, now occupied
by a hospital and the courts of law, also form part. Tbe Romanesque
arches in tbe right aisle and the choir-stalls are worthy of notice.

Tbe Rue de la Madeleine brings us back to the Place duDii-Hnit
Octobre, whence the Bue Gambetta leads to the left to the Church of
8t, Valirim, a buitdlDg of the 12tb cent., witb a stone spire and a
Bomanesque side-portal. Beneath the organ, in the interior, is a

Tbe *GuuGCH of tub Tsinity, &n interesting edifice of the
12-16th cent,, on tbe left side of tbe street, formerly belonged
to a Romanesque abbey (12th cent.), the picturesque remains
of which are seen in the square in front. In front of the portal rises
a magnlflcent Belfry, in the Transition style of the 12th cent.,
crowned by a stone spire. The interior of this tower should be
examined by those interested in architecture, especially the large
apartment on the gioundBoor and the curiously arranged belfry
stage. The Facade of the church is an elaborately ornamented
example of tbe Flamboyant style.

Blois, the cbEef town o[ the department of Loir-et-Chcr, with
23,790 inhib., ia pictuietquely eltuated on the right bank of the
Loire, with its principai etreet in the hoUoir between two hilU, on
which rise retpectiTely the chiteau and the cathedral. The older
parts of the town are ill-built, vith numerous narrow streets, obich
oooasionally degenerate into flights of steps. A bridge at the end
of the main street leads over tbe river to the suburb of Tienne.

built in 11S8-1210. The remarkable facade, with ita two towers, baa
lecentlf been completed and restored. The lentrat tower, though fir
from pleasing when eeen frotu without, forms a handsome lantern in
the interior. The altar-piece of the t&th cent., to the N. of the choir,
near the transept, represents the life of St. Mary of Egypt

We now aerend tbe right bank of the Loire to the bridge (p. 374),
wbete a bandsome street begins. The Roa da Roi ascends to tbe
right to the Cathedral ot Bt. Louis (Pi. D, 4), an edifice in a bastard
Gothic style, reconstructed by J. H, Mansart In 167.B. The facade
. Is later, and may he described as beionging to the neO'Clusic school.
The eeyeiith chapel to the right contains two marble reliefs, by Le-
rambeit (1660), representing Memory and Medita.tion, formerly on
the tomb of the mother of Ring Stanislaos of Poland, in the church
ot StVinoent (p.276J. — Tbe Blihop'i Palace, behind the cathedra],
datei from nearly the same epoch; the terrace (open to the public)

The Rue da Palais, to our right aa we return, passes in ftont of
the PalaU dt Juitice (VI. C, 4). The street leading thence to tbe
left ends at the bronze statue [Ft. C, 4, 5) erected in 1879 to Denis
Paiiln (1647-1710), the physicist, who was born at Bloia, Tha
statue, by A. Millet, is placed on a platform approached by 122
steps and commanding a 4ne view. — In the Rue St. Honorit,
leading bence in a straight direction, is the E5ul d'AUuyt (No. S;
PI. 4, C 6), of the 16th cent, (restored in 18U3), the finest of the
old hooaes of Blois (visitors admitted). We regain the square near

Th« RaUway Station (Fl. D, 3, 4) adjoins the tine boulevards
which separate the town proper fcoin its suburbs. Turning to the
left, we reach in > few minulea a handsome square with the new
Hdttl dt Ville end the Palais de Justice (PI, C, 3), a largo Doric
building erected in 1840. A. bronze statue, by Fournier, was erected
here in 1839 to Honorif de BaUac (s«e above). The Rue NaUonale
(PI. 0,3,2), which runs hence to the right to the Loire, is the widest
and bandsomOEt street in the town. The third street on the right,
the Rue de i'Archei^ch^, leads lo a square in which elands the Arch-
hlshop'i Palace (PI. D, 2), approached by an Ionic portal erected in
the 17th cent, as a triumphal arch. The square is embellished with
a monument to Or. Vtlpeau (1T96-1867), Dr. IVouMenu (1801-67) .
and Dr. Brttonmaa (1178-1882), three local worthies, the main
feature of which is a flgurfi of Tonratne by Sioard (1887),

The "Cathedral (Pi. D, 2), in the adjoining 'Place', dedicated to
St. Qatien, who introduced Christianity into Touraino, rises on the
site of two earlier churches in which St. Martin (d. 397) and Gre-
eorjr of Toms (d. 596) once offtciated. Though it was begun iu 1170
and not finished till the middle of the 16th cenL, the various parts
of the cathedral are exceedingly harmonious, and the whole forms
in fact one of the finest Gothic edifices in France. The Fa^adt, the
last part completed, is a lavishly ornamented example of the Flam-
boyant style; Henri lY is reported to have said of it that it was a
Jewel to which only the casket was wanting. It is flanked by two
towers, 226 and 229 ft. in height, the upper stages of which consist
of truncated pyramids, surmounted by double domes in the Renais-
sance style. The tympana and pediments of the triple portal are in
open wort; and above is a boautiftil rose-window. ,

through the Rue dea Halles, at the end of vblcb stand the Tour
Oiarltmagne (PI. C, 3; right) and tbe Tcur St. Martin (PI, B,
0, 3[ left). Theie ate relics of tbe fatnons basilica of St. Martin,
eitolled by Gregory of Tours, and aftermirde rebuilt on a atiU more
msgniflcent scale in the 12-13lli centuries. Pillaged by the Hugue-
nots during the religious wars of the IGth cent., It was finally de-
molished in 1803, when the street was prolonged. The Tour Charle-
magne, BO called hecauae Luitgaid, third wife of Charlemagne, was
buried beneath it, adjoined the N. transept of the church ; the Tour
St. Martin stood to the right of the W. portal.

At the corner of the Rue Descartes beginning at the Toor Charle-
magne is the neiT Basilica of St. HarUn (PI. C, 3), In the Romano-
Byzantine style, by Lalou, etill unfinished. The dome is surmounted
by a statue of St. Martin, whose tomb was discovered on the spot
now covered by the crypt. The haiidEOme interior of the church has
monolithic columns of grey granite and an open timber roof. — The
Bue des Fosses- St-Martin leads fiom the square beyond the Tour
St. Martin to the Place de la Vlctoire. — To the left isKoire-Dame-
la-Eiche (PI. B, 2, 3), built originally in the 13lh cent., but largely
reconstructed in the 16th cent, and restored in the 19th. The S.
portal and two stained windows by Pinatgrlet should be obserrod.

We now descend to the Loire and fbllow the quay to tbe right,
pissing a suspension-bridge (Fl. B, 2) and enjoying a fine view of
the hills on the opposite bank. Farther on is the Pont de Touri
(PI. C, 2, 1), built In 1765-77. Still higher is another suspension
bridge, connecting Tours with thesuburb ot St. Symphorien. Near the
Pont de Tours is the 15tb cent. Cure* of St. Salumin (PI. 0, 2).

tbe Italian Renaiaaance. It occupies a curioas sitnation, in great part
supported by piles inithe channel of the Cher. The chateau was
founded in 1616 by Thomaa Bohier, receiyer-genecal of taxes, but
bis eon relinquished it to the crown In 1535. Francis I. frequently
resided here, and Henri U presented It to Diana of Poitiers. Cathe-
rine de M^dida, howeyer, compelled the fayourlte to resign Che-
□onceani in exchange for Chaumont (p. 266), and spent consider-
able sums in ealaiging and embelliebing her new possession, which
she bequeathed lo Louise de Lorraine- Vaudemont, widow of Henri III,
Tbe poet Tasso visited Catherine here, and in 1599 Francis II. and
Mary, Queen of Scots, spent their honeymoon at Chenonceanz. The

On quitting tbe station, in tbe lower andlsES ancient part of the

at the end of whii.b we tum to the left and so reanh St. Ayaul, a
Qothio cbareh with Romanesqne featnree, dating from the 12-16tb
centuries. The line reredos of tbe high-altar, eiecoted by Btasset
(;i61%.63), is embellished with a painting by Stella, reproEenting
Jesus among the Doctors. Tbe Lady Chapel, to the right, contains
eenlpturea by BUsset, and the Baptistery, to the left of the entrance,
contains two 16th cent, statues of St. Cecilia. The transept, ohoir,
and apse have been converted into store-rnoniB. — To tbe right of
St. Ayo-iliis the Qmdarmetit, established in an old Benedictine
convent, 'and to tbe left of the square rises tbe Dne Toicrr of Solrt-
Dame-du'Val, a relic of another 16th cent, church,

Becrossing the Place St. Ayoul and proceeding In a straight
direction through the Roe de la Cordonnerie to the Rue du Vat, and
then turning to tbe right, we reach 8te. Croii, a church of the 13th,
16th, and 16th cent,, containing several interesting works of art.
Among these may be mentioned the stained-glass windows of the
16th cent (in grisaille), tbe fonts with mutilated high-reliefs of the
same period, and the holy-water etoup at the S. door.

The Rne St Thibaut, a prolongation of the Rue du Val, leads
to the upper town. At the lower end of the street, to the left, starids
the Hottl-Dieu, dating in part from the 13tb century. In the Rue
des CapDCins, beyond the Rue Chrletophe-Opoii, to the left, shortly

tbe *6bob8b Tovb, oi Tour Ciaar, \a ancient keep of the 12tb cent.
surrounded by h strong rampart of masonr; built by the Englisb ir
tb« 16th cent, (teeper wltbin the enclosure). Tbe lower story j«
square, with round turrets at the angles, the npper Btory is octagonal.
There were formeily four stoiiBS, and the present parapet and roof
date from tbe ITtb cent. only. In the interior are two Tanlted cham-
berG, tbe upper one cont^uing several amsU cells said to have been
used for prisoners. A fine ilev of the sorroondlng conntry iB ob-
tained from the passage roand tbe base of the octagon.

At the foot of the keep, as we descend the ramparts (see below),
we notice further tbe Tour dit Luxcmiourp, tbe Jfaison du Bmvrreait,
and tbe Pinaiie (higher up), another residence of the Conuta of
Champagne.

Farther on is tbe Flace du Oidtel, with an ancient Croia and
WtU, beside vfhich is a fragment of a 12th cent, church. Tbe street
at the end of the Place leads to tbe Poite de Jouy (see below). To
the left is tbe line St. Jean, with tbe 13th cent. Graage det Dlmet,
or tilhe-bscn (apply at the hotise opposite), the hasement of which
communicates with a Eeiies of huge vaults.

The Rne St. Jean ends at the balf-ruined Forle St. Jean. Outside
this gate U the best preserved part of the * Ramparia, wbieh date
mainly from tbe 13tb century. They are sCrengtbened at intervals
by round and square towers, and are bordered by a fosse. At a little
distance to tbe left is the Tour oui Pourceaux or 'Hogs' Tower'.
Jf we proceed to the right we reach the Tour nux Engiru, beyond
which the ramparts tnrn at right angles, and we see (he so-called
Engliih Brench ('BrSche aui Anglaia') made in 1432, and the Porte
de Jouy. We should heic descend by a footpath into the fos^e to
visit (he Trou nu Chat, a postern in a tower. The enceinte heie is
double, one wall euclosing (he npper town, tbe other descending
to the Dvrleinl, an affluent of the Voul?.ie, about 230 yds. off.

The ramparts of tbe lower town were less important, and have
been partly destroyed. They were bordered by a moat fiill of water,
which still exists and is now skirted by the Stmparti i'AUgre, a
pleasant promenade '/i M. long. On a bill to the left is the Qinaal
Eoapital, occupying the site of a 13th cent, convent.

Farther along the promenade is a Mineral Water EsU^li/hmini
(closed in winter) with weak chalybeate springs, efticacioos in cases
of cbloTOsiE and anfemia (fee 25 c. per day or per litre ; bath 1 fr.).
Beyond the promenade lies tbe pleasant public Oardin, with ths

two chief parte: the well-bnilt modem qaartei on tlie tigbt bank of
the SaTonrense, still named the Faubourg de France, thoagh wiUiin
the line offortiflcatiDn: and the old town on the left bank, vhioh we
reach fiom the station hy turning to the left and traversing the Faa-

mit of a TOck 220 ft. high. In front of it Is the colossal 'Lion of
BtlfOTt (PI. 0, 3), 36 a high and 72 ft long, carved In red sand-
stone by Bartboldi in commemorallon of the defence of 1870-71.

We enter the old town by the wide RonleTard Carnot and soon
reach the Place de la Hdpublique (PI. B, C, 3), with the Prffecturt
on tbe right, and the Patau de Juitlct'oa the left A little farther
on is tbe Place d'Armes, with the Church of St. ChrUtopher, dating
from 1729-60; the Hdtei de Villt, conWlning a Salle d'Honnenr,
with madam paintings from the history of tbe town ; and the Qaand-
Mlme (PI. 8; 0, 3j, a bronze group by Merci^, dedicated to the

the finest examples of milittry architectnre In the 17th centuiy.
Iteyond It is the Vallon (Pi. C, 1, 2), which has been trinsfoimed
into an entrenched camp and is traiersed by tbe highroad to Strass-
burg. To the right is the Bale road, which passes between the rocks
of the Citadel and of the Fort de la Jutliee. At tbe end of tbe Vallon
(2 M.) rises tbe Fort de la !Hiaile, with an old tower which is con-
sidered Id some sort the palladium of Belfort It was battered to
pieres Id the siege of 1870-71 and has since been rebnilt. Tha
fottiflcatiaDB have been made still stronger since the last siege, chiefly
by the erection of detached forts on the neighbouring bills, some at
a distance of 16 M.

Eplnal, capital of the department of the Votgta, is a eommeicial
town with 28,080 inhab., situated on the MoitlU, which rune through
it in two arms, dividing It into three principal partem the Faabourg
d'Alsaee adjoining the etatlon, the Petite Ville, and the Orande
Ville. Eplnal was founded in the 10th cent, and belonged to (he
Duchy of Lorraine until its onion with France. There are now
scarcely any remains of ite ancient ramparte, but.the neighbouring
bills are surmounted by modern forts.

From the Station (n. B, 3) the street to the right leads to the
Canal des Granda-Houlins, a branch of the Moselle, which we cioae
here by the Pont des Quatra-Nations. Straight on, beyond the
Petite Villa, we cross the Grand Pont to the Grande VUle, In a
square to the left rises a Monument (PI. 8; B, 2) to the victims of
the war of 1870-71. The Rue du Pont leads farther on to the Place
des Votyei (PI. C, 2), which lies in the centre of the town and is
surrounded by inteiesling old houses. No. 20, of the 18th cent.,
with arcadee in &ont, and No. 5, in (he Renaissance style, are the
most noteworthy of these.

The Church of St. Gobbt or SI. Maurice (PI. B ; C, 2), near the
Place des Vosges, butit in the Bomanasque and Qothic styles, has
a tower In the Transition style, two turrets, and a N. portal. The
nave, with a trefoil-arched triforlum. Is imposing but sombre. Near
the choir, to the right, is a Holy Sepulchre. — The Patalt ie Jattiet

The smalt and prettily situated town of Baint-lci-Baitu is so
called on account of its warm sodio-Gulphaiedsprings(81-112^F*br.),
which were known to the Romans. The springs ace of the same
kind as those at Plombi^ree (p. 317], but the watering-place is much
quietet and leas pretentious. The Roman Bath, of InBignifleaDt
appearance and built half noderground, lies near the centre of the
town, beyoud the bridge over (be Bataerot, the river which luni

Kombiini (1410(1.), a emoU town ivitb 1830 Inhab., pi«UUy situat-
ed in a taviDe, on the banks of tbe Augrognt or Augromu, is calebrat'-
ed for its Thfrmat Springe, which were koown to the Romans and
are the most important in the VoBges. The fame of the waters was
revived in the middle otths iSth cent, by Stanislaus, then Ihike of
Lonalne; and since Napoleon III. spent several seasons here and
effected gteat Improvements, FUimbit^ies iias become a fashionable
watering-place, which may be described as a miiiiatate Vichy. Tiie
springs, like tboBB at Vichy, are the property of the State and aie farm-
ed ont to ■ company. There are 27 springs in all, ranging In temp-
erature from 69" to IBCPFabr. andyielding 760 cubic matres of water
per day. They are divided into three classes: the thermo-mineral,
the alkaKne, anql the femiginous, The first belong to the sodlo-
Bulpbated waters, but they contain a very small <iuant!ty of mineral
ingredients and owe their efficacy mainly to their thermal qualities.
The alkaline springs seam to owe their oily nature to the presence
of silicate of alamina. The waters are chiefly nsed externally, bat
a few springs are nsed for drinking. The waters are efficacloua
for diseases of the digestive organs, nervous affections, gout, and
Theumatisni. The climate of Plombi^res is somewhat changeable.
At the entrance to the town, on the left, are (he large and
well-equipped iVouvenuz TKttmet, erected in 1867. They contain
four public baths and two stories of private baths ranged round
a gallery. The buildings at the sides are the two Grands B6tela.

A few yards farther on is the Small Fromenndt, where the
band plays, the chief rendezvous of the bathers. The left side is
occupied by the Casino. On the other side of the Promenade is the
Stu StaiMat, the chief street. Halfway up, to the right, is the wider
and more modern Avenne Lonis-Fran^als, where a monument, hy
E. Peynot, was erected In 1901 to Louii Frattfais, the painter
(181'4-97). The Rue Stanislas contains the other bathing-establish-
ments and the principal springs. To the left are the Bain dtt
Capueini and the Bain Temfirl, both baths of the third rank. To
the right ii the Bain NuJiofial, of the second class, the most fre-
quented of all, with four public basins, private baths, and a vapour
bath with a douche known as 'L'Enfer'. Farther on, in the middle
of the street, is the Bain iiomain, a flrst-class bath, and beyond it
ate the £Euv« Bomainet, situated below the level of the street
(entrance by the Bain Stanislas). To the right again, behind the
houses, are the Bain du Damn (second-class), with the Source det
Dama, a drinking-spring, so called becanse it formerly beloikged to .
the Oanoneases of Retoireaiont, and the Boin Slaniilai (flrst-class),
with which the neighbouring hospital is connected. Opposite is the
Maiton det Areada, an ediflce of 1760 containing the Source da
Cmelfix (110°Fahr.), and Uie Soant Savormewe (varying tem-
petalnre), two other drinking-springs. — A little farther oi^ls.tha

pictUTBEqne site on the left bmk of tbe Heuthe, sniroimiled with
moantains. Its name ia deriTsd from St. Deodstoa or Diendonn^,
-who founded a moDa»tet<r here Iti the 6th cent., which afterwards
becuue a powetM collegiate establishmeut. St. Dlti is still the seat
of a bishop. In 1T6T, aftet a destrucdTB conDagiatian, the W. part
of the town was leboiit on a regolsr plan \>y StanisUna Leacilnalii,
then Dake of Lorraine. The lest of the town, hDwevei, Is badly
laid out and meanly built. St. Ditf cairiee on an eitansiTe trade in
timber, and contains eeieral weaiing, hosiery, and other factories,

From tbe station we reach the centre of tjie town viiL the Rue
Oamhetta and the Roe Thiers. In the latter is the II6ta dt ViUt, on
the left, cont^ning a Muteam (in which the natural history coUec-
tiane are noteworthy) and an extensive Pu&Iic Lihtary. Tbe Bue
Stanislas, the chief street of the modem quartet, begins here. The
BlanitXaui ObcUik stands in front of the Palais de Justice. In a
■ square at tbe end of the Rue Thiers is the Afonumml ofJulei Ferry
(1832-93), a native of St. Die', by Metci^; the statue of France is
a portrait of Hme. Ferry.

The Cathedral, a Utile farther on, is an edifice of grey sandstone,
erected at different periods and partly Romanesque and partly Gothic
In style. To the 14. is a fine *CloMer of the 16th cent., which con-
nects tbe cathedral with tbe so-called Petite Eglite, a charming
Romanesque bailding, perhaps of the 9th cent, (recently restored J.
Opposite tbe cathedral is the Canons' Houie (166T), adorned with
the heads of four sages of antiquity.

On the right bank of the Menithe, near the bridge, is a pleasant
Purli. — The Promenadt du Oratin, outside the town, about 2Vj M.

Bejanf on (SQOfL), a venerable town with 6B,36'i inhab., formerly
the capitU of IheFronefte-ComW, and now of tbe department of the
/>Dub8, is mainly built on a tongae of land surrounded by tbe river
Doubs. It la a fortrees of tbe first class, defended by a citadel on
the hillrJslngfrom the middle of the neck of the peninsula (1205 ft. ;
lo the S.E.), and by detached forts on the neighbouring heights.
Besancon is the headquarters of the Vllth Army Corps and the seat
of an arcbbiahop, of a university, and of an artillery-Ecbool. It is also
an important industrial centre, the staple industry being the manit-
facturo of clocks and watches, which affords employment to one-
arth of the population and furnishes more than four-filths of the
watches sold in France (450,000 annually), repiesentjng at the
lowest computation (he som of 6C0,000i. On account of its advan-
tageoDs situation near Switzerland, at the junction of several
railways, and on the Rh6ne-Rbine Canal, the trade of Besanton is
equally important. The canal coincides at this point with the Doubs,
except where it flows through a tunnel, 41& yds. long, underneath
the citadel, shortening Ihe navigation by 2-3 M.

From the Oart de la Viotie (PI. A, 1} we retch the centre of th«
town either by msfaing a tathei long detoar to the left thcongh the
Faubourg dt la MauOtiTe and foUowlne the road that the omnibaseg
take, or by turning to the tight throagh the Faubourg dt Battant.
In tbe first case we proceed tliiongh the Rne Satnt-PfBrra to the
Place St. Pierte (PL C, 2). which U skirted by the Qnode-Rne; in
the second, we reach the Pant de B&ttant(p. 348], where theGruiilB-
Rue hegins (p. 350).

The church of St. FUrre (PI. C, 2), an unlntereeting ediflca ot
the 18th cent., contains a Pietii in marble, by Lnc Bret«a (3. tran-
sept), and a Madonna and Child by Cl^alngei (N. traneept), both
uiists being natirea of Besan^on. — Opposite the church standa the
Hdtel dt VtiU (PI. C, 3), a bnildlng of the 16tb cent^ with a time-
blackened ftont in Tosttcated niaEoniy. Behind It ia the PalaU de
Jtutict, also of tha 16th cent., with a pleasing facade.

The Polaii eraDTelle (PI. D, 3), farther on, to the right, at tha
corner of the Rne de la Prefecture, waa built in lB3i-40 by Nicolas
Percenot de Granvelle (p. 351), the famous chancellor of Charies V.
mid father of Cardinal Oranvella. The court ia aurroundad with ar-
cades, resembling cloieteis, and in 1S97 waa embelliahed with a
statue (by Jaan Petit, of Besanfon) of Cardinat GnmvtUa (1517-86),
who was born at Besanfon and became its archbishop near the end
of his life. The palane is now occnpied by local learned aoeietiei.
Beyond the court (which is a thoroughfare) is the Ftomenadt Cran-
■atUe, with a Statut of Victor Hugo, by Beequet (1902), where a
band plays In summer from 8.30 to 10 p.m.

In tbe Sqvart Archiologiqat Cattan (PL D, 2), to Ibe left of tha
Grande-Rue, are the ruins of what was piobablf tbe Andeni Thtalrt,
■fteiwatds sncceeded by a baptiBteiy. A few Golumiu, whole oi in
ftagments, and various othec temaiiis have bean collected at each
end of tbe square, which aUo containe the ruins of the 'podinoi' or
internal foundations (cnstodlan. Rue des Msrtelots 13). A reference
t« tha Flan will show other places where Testigea of ancient bnild-
ingg are Blill to be seen.

The Port* da Ifcrt, Port* Solrt, or Porta Nigra (PI. D, 2, 3),
near the end of the street, is the principal relic of Besan[on'E ancient
importance and is Bald to have been erected by Marcos Aurelias in
167 A.D., as a triumphal arch to commemorate his victories over
the Germans. It consists of a single arch, 32 ft. high and 16 fU wide,
adorned with eight columns arranged in two rows, but it is much
dilapidated and part of it had to bs tebuUt In 1820.

The Cathedral of St. Jean (PI. E, 3), at tbe end of tbe Oiande-
Kne and on the outskirts of the town, near tbe base of tbe citadel, is
the most interesting edifice in Besan^on, but is unfortunately some-
what crowded by the neighbouring buildings. It is one of the few
cbnrches in France with two apses, and in plan resembles the
churches on tbe banks of the Rhine, The only entrance is in the
side adjoining tha Grande-Rue. Tbe cathedral was founded In tbe
4tb cent., but Ibe greater part of the present building dates from
the ll-13th cent, and the E. apse was rebuilt in the 18th century.
Tbe edifice thus presents a cnrious mixture of styles. The arches
and windows in tha nate are Romanesque, the latter being preceded
by fine Gothic galleries. The principal apse, to the W., containing
some poor modern etsined glass, Is also Romanesque.

The Citadel (PI. R, F, 3), which occupies the site of a Roman
'caatmm', was bnilt in the 17th cent., chiefl; fVom the designs of
Vaaban. It is commanded bf some of the neighbouring heights, but
these are now defended by modem forts (no admission). Pine view

The cnetodian who Miiidneta Tiiitors over the palace giveB all netes-

with a^celllng painted by Frimintt [d. 1619); the apartments of
Napoleon I. ; those of Marie Antoinette, particularly hei bedroom ;
the OUetle de Diane, or de ta Bibliotheque, adomed with piJntlnge
of mythotogioal scenes by Blondel (d. 1863) and Abd de Pujol (d.

The 'FoBBBT QP_FQSTiisBBi.BAU, wfaich covers an area of 42,600
acrea, Is Justly legirded as one of the finest in France. The ground
is of a very varied character, the lock- formation consisting chiefly
of sandstone, which yields most of the paving-atones of Paris. There
are many plctaresqne walks and gorges throughout the forest, such
as the TWjil 'rT-rAuhcWd anJ d Apremont. The former~are the

goeg back to a vety eaily period, but in ita present fotm the sdiflce
dates snbsUntially from the 13th cent. (1271-88). In style it is

with its shoit transepts and etaall choir, the latter dcBtilute of am-
bulatory 01 chapela and ending in three semiciccnlar apses. TheW.
ft'ont is preceded by a nartbei, or Teatlbnle, adorned with a group
of the mirtFrdom of St. Stephen, by Bonchardon, replacing the old
scnptures destroyed at the Revolution. Above is a light arid elegant
arcade. Among the other prominent featureB of the eiterior are the
two handsome lateral Uiwers and the timber spite above the cToesing,
rebuilt in 1894-96, adorned with copper statues.

A few yards to the right of the cathedral rises St. PhilibeTt
(PI. B, B), a church of the 12th cent., with a Gothic stone epira
of the loth, now nsed as a warehouse.

The amall Rue das Novices to the right leads in a few minutes
to the church of St. Jt/in (PL C, 4), which was rebuilt in 1447-56.
St. Urban, St. Gregory, and St. Tetrieus, who were all bishops of
Langres, are buried here.

In the Place St. Jean is the house (No. 10) where Bossaet was
born; at No. 23 is a 16th cent bouse. Close by (Rue Monge 1] is the
Conservatoire de Muslque (PI. 1; C, 4), occupying the old H6UI
Bouc\u, of 1643. The Rue Bossuet, at Ihe opposite end of the Place,
leads to the Rue de la Libert^. The adjacent Rue des Forges con-
tains [No. 38) the interesting Maiwn fdUsand (entr. in the passage),
and at No. 62 another andent house (PI. 8, 10; D, 3). No. 8, Rue
du Bourg (PI. 9 ; D, 8) has a fatade in the style of Henri II. The
Roe da la Libeitj ends at the semlcircolar Piact d'Armet, on the ^'.

Httel de Ville, formerly the Falact of the Duka of Burgundy
(PI. D, 3). This huge edifice, of little interest in itself, was practi-
cally rebuilt in 1681-1726 and in the 19lb century. Almost all that
now remains of the old palane, dating from the l^-lSth cent., is the
lofty Tour dt la TtrroDt (150 ft. high) in Ihe centre, a lower one

been well restored, is (he most inteieitlng part of the building. It
consists of two arcaded stories forming a gallery above the beautiful
triple porch, and is not nnlike that of the churches at Pisa and Lucca.
Above and below the arcades are richly carved friezes. Each story
Is also adorned with seventeen 'Stamtlta, of the most varied ex-
pressions and attitudes, serving as gargoyles. Above, to the right
of the tatade. Is a clock brought iVom Courtrai and presented to the

to the figures that strike the hours on clocks of this dsseription.
Over the crossing of the church is a modem t«wer surmounted by a
spire and with a round turret at each comer. At each end of the
transept rises a similar turret.

23 M. Beaiine (Bu^T'tt,' HiLdtlaPoite, Bool, de Bouzei daCke-
vrtull, Kue Maufoux 33; ^e France, at the station), an ancient town
with 13,887 inbah., is the centre of a great wine- die trict, praUed by
Eumenes in the 4th cent., and by Gregory of Tours in ttie 6th.

After passing through a suburh, we enter the town between two
round Toueri, relics of an old caEtls, and reach a square embellished
with a flue bronia statue, by Rude, of Monjt (1746-1818), the
ipathematiclan, a native of Beaune. Beyond rises the Belfry of the
old UStet de Viile, dating from 1403 and restored in 1897. To the
left, before the Belfry, is the tormet Hvtet de la Mare or Rocltefat
(1623], now a bookshop, with two courts with Renaissance and Gothic
arcades. — The Rue Carnot (old house at No. 18] leads to the left
from the above-mentioned square ta tbe Place Carivot, In which is a
MonuirunJ to Bretideni Camot (d. 1894), by Loiseau-Bailly.

In a street to the right stands tbe cb&teau-like 'Hosfitai., a
quaint building In tbe Flemish style, foanded in 1443 by Nicholas
BoUn, Chsnceltoi of Bargundy. The exterior is simple and presents
no striking features beyond the penthouse doorway and the small
belfty on the summit of its high-pitched roof. The hospital-nurses
are nuns belonging to ikh families, who wear a costume of white
in summer and blue in winter. Visitors are admitted (10-11.30 and
1-4; 50 c, free on Sun.) and will find the court-yard worthy of
inspection, with two wooden galleries, one above the other, and
dormer-windows surmounted by gables. Seieial of the rooms are
still fitted up in their original style, one of them being decorated
with mural paintings Of 16^2. Tbe chapel, witb its magnificent
stained-glass window, and the kitchen are also noteworthy. Bnt the
most intereeting treasure as » work of art is a fine •■Altar-Piece
presented by tbe founder of tbe Hospital, the work of Rogltr van
dder Wcyen. It is composed of fifteen panels, of which six are on
the outside, and the principal subject is the Last Judgment. The
room (1st floor] in which it is also contains some beautiful tapestry,
illuminated MSS., bindings, etc.

At the end of the street is the small Place de la Halle, beyond
which we traverse tbe Place Fleury and the Kue de la R^pnbllque.
The latter passes near the old collegiate chnrch of Solre-Dame
(12-16tb cent.). In the Place Haafoax. Tbe church is surmounted
by a DOble Gothic tower and preceded by a targe open OotUc poieh,

with bandsome dociiwayEi bnt the fine apse, with its thrs* imatl
louad chapelE, is in the Romanesque style. The nave is loofed with
banet- vaulting, and the aisles with gToined vaulUng. The choir and
side-chapels of the nave contain Eoma good stained glass. The en-
gtged tolumns of the pillars on one side of the na^e are contrasted
with fluted pilasterE on the opposite side. The chnich possesses
some valuable 'Tapatry of the 15th cent., with which the apse is
decorated on festivals; the subjects are taken from the life of the
Virgin.

We tlien follow the Kue de la Rfpubllque to the boolevaids
bounding the old town. At the Square dtt Lions we tarn to the
right, and at the end of the Rue de Lorraine reach the monumental
Porte Si. Sieolai of 1761, beyond which Is the Jardin Ariglaii. In
the St. Nicolas quarter, to the right, is a 14th cent, church, with a
Romanesque portal. A smalt street which diverges to the left («s
we return) within the gateway leads to the B6tel de ViUe, formerly
a convent. The building contains a Ftibiic Library, the Municipal
ArMvet, a Oallery of Natural History , and a small Museum, the Uttet
comprising paintings, antiquitiea, and curiosities of various ([inds.

built in the latteiJuU^OObg Ipth cent, against the Roman Ram-
parts, of which two towers have hee'ii preserved, heightened, and
incorporated in the mansion. Above the Gothic poich of the facade
was a statue of CbarlcB VII., and on each side, sculptured in a false
window, is the head of a servant supposed to be looliing out for the
return of bis master. Jacques CcBur's caal-of-aims, with hearts and
Bcallop-ihells, is freely used in the decorations, and hie motto 'A
Taillans ciBurs, rieus impossible' also frequently occurs. T^^Juiitd-
inge In tbe court have preserved their primitive character better.
The doorwai-F and_ (he three "graceful octagonal towers, with the
spiral staircases, 'are ornamented wit\i bas-reliefs and medallions.
Tbe most intefesting part is tbe chapel, on the drst Qoor, above ths

Is another hall vaulted in the same way. A heavy stracture In the
