Re-cross the Hôtel de Ville ruins and return to the Place de Rihour. Follow the Rue de la Vieille-Comédie and Rue du Sec-Arembault (plan, p. [25]); the latter comes out into the Rue de Paris, in front of St. Maurice's church.
The Church of St. Maurice
(historical monument)
ST. MAURICE'S CHURCH
The church was seriously damaged by the bombardment of October 1914, which set fire to the roof.
It is a curious specimen of the 15th century Gothic-Flamboyant style of Walloon-Flanders, and comprises five naves of equal height arranged quincuncially, whereas most of the churches belonging to that period have three naves under a single roof, the aisles being shorter than the great nave, while the tower is necessarily placed over the main entrance (see St. Catherine's Church, p. [54]).
It also contains an ambulatory and an apse formed by polygonal chapels.
