The neighbouring ruins are those of the twelfth century Church of Saint-Thibaut. Motorists are advised to send their car to wait for them in the lower part of the Rue Saint-Thibaut at the corner of the Rue Christophe-Opoix, whither they themselves will return after having visited the Cæsar's Tower and Saint-Quiriace. The beginning of the picturesque Rue Saint-Thibaut is to be seen in the photograph below.
Tourists should walk to the south-east corner of the Place and there take the Rue de l'Ormerie, then immediately on the right, the Rue Pierre-Lebrun. The house in which this writer lived is situated in a charming little square, opening off the street.
RUE SAINT-THIBAUT
CÆSAR'S TOWER AND ST.-QUIRIACE
The Rue Pierre-Lebrun makes a bend in order to rejoin the Rue Jean-Desmare's, along which turn to the right. From this spot there is a fine view of Cæsar's Tower and of the Church of Saint-Quiriace (see the above photograph). The ruined wall seen in the centre jutting off from the tower belongs to the original fortifications. That piece breaking off from the "Porte Faneron" (p. [136]) rejoined Cæsar's Tower.
Continue to descend, passing before the "Pinacle," the old palace of the mayors of Provins. It was there that Guillaume Pentecôte was murdered by the workmen of the town (see p. [129]). Further remains of the city wall are encountered, which descend the slope of the hill to the right before rising to the east in order to enclose the lower town.
