The second theatre is situated on the old market place and is called the _Théâtre-Français_; this building formerly used as a tennis court, was opened for theatrical purposes on the 2nd of february 1793. This theatre will contain about twelve hundred persons. Besides these two theatres, there is a third at the entrance of Saint-Sever, which is the circus or _Ambigu-Dramatique_. PUBLIC WALKS IN ROUEN. COURS BOIELDIEU AND THE EXCHANGE. These are the fashionable walks. The bronze statue between the two is that of Boieldieu, the celebrated french composer a native of Rouen. It is the work of the sculptor Dantan the younger. COURS DE LA REINE. According to _Farin_, this public walk was formed for a walk for the ladies, and is one of the finest in the kingdom; its length is about 674 fathoms. Four rows of large elms form the whole length on the banks of the Seine. On holy-thursday, the _Cours-de-la-Reine_ begins to be used as a fashionable promenade, and it may be said that on that day, it has a very gay appearance. AVENUES OF MONT-RIBOUDET, AND COURS-DAUPHIN. The first is the principal entrance to Rouen from Havre and Dieppe, and the second, at the opposite extremity of the quay, the entrance from Paris, Evreux, etc. THE BOULEVARDS. They occupy, for the greater part, the place of the ditches which surrounded the town; they were planted between the years 1770 and 1780 and were paved in 1783, at the expense of the town. They are about 3 miles in length. WALKS WITHOUT THE TOWN. Mount Saint-Catherine first presents itself. We may go to it, either by the Paris high road, or by the _petites eaux_ Martainville. The last mentioned, although the least frequented, is perhaps the preferable route on account of the diversity of the landscape. It will be useless for the traveller, when he has reached the top of the hill, to look for the ancient abbey of the _Sainte-Trinité-du-Mont_, the chapel of the _priory of Saint-Michel_, or the fortifications, in which the marquis of Villars withstood the attacks of Henry IVth; nothing of them remains at the present day, except two remnants of a wall, which threaten to fall on the traveller, who is imprudent enough to approach too near them.
