Amiens Before and During the War

OLD AMIENS

Return to the Place du Marché de Lanselles and take the Rue St. Martin, which is at the right-hand corner. There are two fine façades in this street, one Louis XV. at No. 7, and the other Louis XVI. at No. 18.

A shell caused rather serious damage to the left-hand window on the first floor of the former. At the end of the Rue St. Martin take on the left the Rue Flatters, which continues the Rue du Bloc. Leave the latter, taking on the right the Rue des Rinchevaux which leads to the Place des Huchers. (Fine view of old houses and cathedral—photo below).
