Return to Rue des Bénédictins and follow it as far as Rue St. Vincent (on the left), which leads to the square of the same name, where stands the curious Church of St. Vincent, founded in 1248.
Partially destroyed by fire in 1711, by an apostate monk, it was used as a stable during the Revolution, and then as a hospital in 1814. Once more a church, a portal in composite style was added. The graceful nave on twelve shafted pillars, the symmetrical choir and the fine chapels in pointed style are well worth seeing.
Continue along Rue St. Vincent, on the other side of the square. Its continuation, Rue St. Marcel, leads to Rue du Pont-à-Mort, into which turn to the left.
ST. MARCEL BRIDGE AND THE PROTESTANT CHURCH
Seen from Moyen Bridge.
Cross the Moselle by Moyen Bridge (lovely view). Take Rue St. Marie, which continues the bridge, then Rue du Faisan on the left, leading to the pretty little Place de Chambre. This square owes its name to the Knights of Malta, who in 1323 lived there in a castle called Petit St. Jean.
