THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN CAPITAL SINS
A little further on is the Maison Leguy, recognisable by its hexagonal turret, which rests on one of the corner pillars of the arcades. Tradition attributes its construction to the Templars, and says that a subterranean passage led from it across the Moselle and up to Mousson.
The turret is at the corner of Rue Victor Hugo, which take to see, in the Rue de l’Union (first street on the left), two curious doors at Nos. 6 and 8.
Return to Place Duroc, turn to the left into Rue St. Laurent and see, in the court of No. 9, a fine gallery delicately carved in Renaissance style (slightly damaged by the bombardment); at No. 11, a handsome façade with a charming court, an old well, the railing of the old terrace, a spiral staircase and timbered ceilings; at No. 19, the façade, door and entrance.
