Old Amiens
Return to the Place du Marché de Lanselles and take the Rue St. Martin, which is at the right-hand corner. There are two fine façades in this street, one Louis XV. at No. 7, and the other Louis XVI. at No. 18.
A shell caused rather serious damage to the left-hand window on the first floor of the former. At the end of the Rue St. Martin take on the left the Rue Flatters, which continues the Rue du Bloc. Leave the latter, taking on the right the Rue des Rinchevaux which leads to the Place des Huchers. (Fine view of old houses and cathedral—photo below).
To the right of the Square take the Rue du Pont-Piperesse visible in the photo, p. 49, then on the left, the Rue des Gantiers and the Rue Hocquet. At the intersection of the latter with the Rue de Metz-l’Evéque take a few steps to the right in the last-named street, to get a view of the picturesque Canal du Hocquet (photo above).
Continue along the Rue du Hocquet and its continuation (Rue de la Barette). At the end of this street, turn to the left, cross the bridge over the Somme and go up the Boulevard de Beauvillé for several hundred yards, to get a pretty view of the town on the left (photo below).
