To get a good view of the ruins of the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital, take the Rue de l’Hospice, on the right of the Square, which leads straight there. This hospital was founded at the beginning of the 15th century. Only the façade remains, the remainder of the buildings having been destroyed by the bombardments.
Take on the left, the street which passes in front of the Hôtel-de-Ville, and which crosses, on the left, the Avenue in which the church stands. Built in the 11th, 13th, and 16th centuries, this church is remarkable for its Roman apsis. Inside are two statues of St. Macre, one Middle-Age, the other 17th or 18th century.
The Cemetery, on one side of which several hundred Americans were buried, is on the right of the road to Rheims, beyond the Avenue. To go there, take the last street on the right (Rue du Point du Jour).
