At the end of the square, take Rue Saulnerie to the right (continued on the left by Rue du Paradis), which leads to Rue des Capucins. At the end of the latter is Place des Maréchaux, in which stands the Church of St. Ségolène, built on the site of an oratory founded by St. Ségolène in the 8th century. The present church, built at two different periods (the choirs, nave and portal are earlier than the aisles), dates from about the 13th century. Long, narrow windows, mostly double, end in stanchions. The two side chapels contain fine stained-glass. Note the curious open-work gallery of the organ loft, and several interesting paintings.
Turn to the left and take the Rue des Trinitaires. Skirt an old building with a square turret, beside a doorway—“Hostel St. Ligier”—then turn to the right into Rue de la Bibliothèque.
In this street, at the corner of Rue Chèvremont, there is a large building (formerly the Church of the Petits-Carmes), the work of Sébastian Leclerc, in which are housed both the library (80,000 volumes and 1,987 manuscripts) and the Museum (local archæology, natural history, objects of art and three rooms of pictures).
Besides the museum, take Rue Chèvremont, which runs into Rue de la Boucherie, in which turn to the left to St. Georges Bridge over the Moselle.
Cross this bridge, from which there is a lovely view, and take the Rue du Pont St. Georges. Rue Chambière opens at once on the right, and leads to Chambière Cemetery, in which are the graves of the French soldiers who fell in the siege of 1870.
The road passes between the large slaughter house and cattle market, and huts serving as an army stores. Cross an old cemetery, in the middle of which are several monumental tombs. Skirt the Jewish cemetery and the Moselle, as far as the Military Cemetery: numerous graves under the trees. In the centre stands a pyramid thirty-seven feet high, with a great number of piled up coffins carved on the base. Here lie the soldiers who died in the Metz hospitals of wounds received in the battles of Borny, Gravelotte, St. Privat, Servigny, Peltre and Ladonchamps—7,203 in number.
