HÔTEL VAULUISANT

Before leaving, take a few steps up the Rue Saint-Thibaut to glance at the "Hôtel-Dieu," the former palace of the Countesses of Blois and of Champagne.

In the vestibule (view below), on the left is a Renaissance reredos in stone. The donatrice (the wife of a bailiff of Provins) is represented in the central panel kneeling to the Virgin.

The vaulted hall, which follows, is very large, and beneath is a crypt of the same dimensions.
