On the left: Church of Notre-Dame and Bridge of St. Jean de Népomucène. On the right: The Belfry.
The Palais-de-Justice and Palais-du-Franc.
Seen from the Quai des Marbriers.
The Quai du Rosaire.
See plan between pp. [88] and [89].
Beyond the canal, turn to the right and cross the Placette des Tanneurs leading to the charming Quai du Rosaire and Le Dyver. The Quai du Dyver widens, and is planted with fine old trees. Opposite, picturesque buildings, nestling amidst foliage, are reflected in the still water. The lofty spire of Notre-Dame dominates all the surrounding country. The Rue Neuve Bridge is next reached; there the canal (formerly the river Reye), makes a sharp bend and disappears under the building facing the bridge. (Beyond the latter, take the Rue Gruuthuuse as far as a new group of remarkable buildings: Notre-Dame Church, Hôtel Gruuthuuse and St. John's Hospital).
