Rheims and the Battles for its Possession

by Pneu Michelin

THE INSIDE OF ORMES CHURCH

It comprises three tierce-pointed arcades surmounted by a line of billet-moulding. The lateral arcades are blind, while the higher central arcading around the door is surmounted with three receding tori resting on crocketed foliate capitals. The lateral arcades have similar capitals but only one torus.

Inside the church are interesting 16th century statues: St. Barbara in stone and St. Catharine, painted and decorated, face the altar; St. Remi in stone, remarkable for its costume and decoration, stands above the altar of the northern chapel; a wooden Virgin surmounts the inner doorway.

THE ROAD FROM RHEIMS TO JOUY, NEAR THE LATTER VILLAGE
Note the camouflaging.

Return by the same road to the crossing with the road to Rheims (G. C. 6), where, opposite the Café du Joyeux Laboureur, turn to the right.

The road rises towards the Mountain of Rheims. Of the camouflaging seen in above photograph, only traces remain.
