In the hospital of St. Saviour, the choir of the chapel, which is lighted by high, broken-arch windows, still exists. A low, vaulted room, opening on the right, serves as an oratory for the nuns.
Skirting the Hospital on the right, the tourist comes to the Noble Tower.
Built in 1459, the Noble Tower was formerly the centre of the town's defences. It consisted originally of three stories, one of which contained ribbed Gothic vaulting. Of great size and massive construction, the tower is flanked by two smaller ones connected by a curtain. The upper portion of the tower has disappeared.
Near by is seen the steeple of the church of St. Saviour, a modern, pseudo-Byzantine edifice.
THE NOBLE TOWER
Return to the Paris Gate, via the Ruault Square, taking again the Rue de Paris. On the left, at No. 224, is a high gabled wall containing vestiges of a broken-arch bay, all that remains of the old Hospice Ganthois, founded in 1466 by Jean de la Cambe, surnamed Ganthois. The right wing was rebuilt in the 17th century. Over the entrance appears the date "1664." An interior court, shaped like a cloister, leads to the patients' ward.
