ST. THIERRY HEIGHTS—LE GODAT—THE GLASS-WORKS OF LOIVRE—BRIMONT—THE "CAVALIERS DE COURCY"
(See complete Itineraries, p. [121], and summary of the military operations, pp. [147] and [154].)
Starting from the Place du Parvis-Nôtre-Dame, follow the morning's Itinerary (p. [122]) as far as the railway bridge, then continue straight along the Avenue de Paris (N. 31). Before leaving Rheims the tourist can, if desired, visit Haubette Park. In this case, turn to the left, opposite No. 10, Avenue de Paris, into the Rue Flin des Oliviers. The entrance to Haubette Park (an annex of the Calmette Dispensary) stands at the beginning of this street, on the right.
Napoleon I. bivouacked in this park while his troops attacked Rheims in 1814. A monument and a small museum commemorate the event. At the end of 1914 Haubette Park was a favourite recreation ground and refuge for the inhabitants of the city during the bombardments.
Return to the junction of N. 31 (which leads to Fismes) with G. C. 6 (the road to Ville-en-Tardenois). Take N. 31 on the right. About 1 km. from the fork take the first road on the right.
On reaching Tinqueux turn to the left at the entrance to the village, and follow the main road.
Tinqueux—Mont St. Pierre
The church of Tinqueux (St. Peter's) was entirely destroyed. It contained, on the left side of the nave, a remarkable 16th century painting on wood, representing the Adoration of the Shepherds, with a frame of the same period.
Near the church, between the Vesle and the main street of the village, stood an old baronial mansion, in front of which was a building with turreted façade known as the Maison de la Salle. Inside the buildings which, in later years, served as a farm, there was a curious old wooden staircase with railed balustrade. The whole was destroyed by the shells.
