From this elevated position, in turning towards the north-east, we see the valley of _Darnetal_, which has become so rich through the industry of those who inhabit it. The eye reposes with pleasure on the gothic tower of the church of _Carville_; and of which, according to tradition, Henry IVth, made a post of observation when he besieged the fort of the _ligue_. We must not forget that an English detachment, which served in the army of the king, conducted itself very bravely in the different attacks, with which it was entrusted. On the opposite side of the valley of Darnetal and towards the north, we distinguish the hill named _des Sapins_, on which the monumental burying ground is situated. This latter hill adjoins the _Bois-Guillaume_ from which also the view is admirable although inferior to that from the mount Saint-Catherine, which advances like a promontory, above the immense valley of the Seine, while that of Bois-Guillaume or Beauvoisine, recedes from the circular line formed by the union of these different hills. The Bois-Guillaume joins _Saint-Aignan_. We cross the latter _commune_, on our way to _Mont-aux-Malades_, formerly the _Mont-Saint-Jacques_. Antiquarians will not fail to go and see a church at this place, which is a venerable remains of norman architecture. There were two, but the other is now almost destroyed. Travellers should also visit the hill of _Canteleu_ from which the view is very fine, and at the same time the country house of M. Élie Lefebure, called the _Chateau of Canteleu_. BURYING GROUNDS OF ROUEN. There are at present, five burying grounds for the roman catholics, and two for the protestants. They are the burying grounds of _Saint-Gervais_, _Beauvoisine_, _Val-de-la-Jatte_, of which a part has been walled off for the protestants; _Mont-Gargan_, _Saint-Sever_, and _Champ-des-Oiseaux_, which latter forms the second protestant burying ground. The great demand of families, to obtain a piece of ground, on which to erect a monument on the tomb of a relation, had caused a great diminution of ground for interments; the municipal administration therefore took measures to prevent the consequences of it. On the proposition of the marquis de Martainville, then mayor of the town they determined, on the 24th april 1823, that a monumental burying should be established on the east of Rouen, on a portion of the hill of Fir-Trees which was barren, and could be disposed of without any loss. This new burying ground contains about ten acres of ground, enclosed with walls. A chapel is erected on the highest point of the hill; and a vault has been formed under it for the provisional deposit of bodies, which cannot be interred immediately. A tariff exists, which regulates the sum to be paid by families, who wish to purchase a place in this burying ground. THE END. [Illustration: Map] CONTENTS. Historical introduction 1.
