_Return to the Rue du Champ-Bouillant, follow same as far as the Aisne, crossing the latter at the Pont Saint-Waast._ [Illustration: THE PONT ST-WAAST OR PONT DES ANGLAIS. _In the background, the Pont-Neuf, Sep^t. 1914._] The pont Saint-Waast, also called the Pont des Anglais (since the war) dates from the Middle-Ages (_photo above_). Of the original structure there remain the arches on the Saint-Waast side (restored). The rest of the bridge consists of an iron platform which the Germans destroyed on September 13, 1914, when they evacuated the town. Rebuilt by the British in 1914, together with a foot-bridge, it ensured communication between the centre of the town and the Faubourg Saint-Waast, in spite of incessant bombardments. _Return to the Cathedral by the Rue la Bannière, Rue de Montrevers, and Rue de l’Hôtel-Dieu._ CONTENTS =Chief Historical Facts= 2 =First German Occupation=, 1914 4 =Second German Occupation=, 1918 7 =The Bombardments= 10 =A Thirty-Months’ Siege= 11 VISIT TO THE CITY =The Cathedral= 15–31 =St-Léger Church= 35–39 =The Hôtel-de-Ville= 40–41 =St-Pierre-au-Parvis Church= 42 =Maison de l’Arquebuse= 43 =St-Jean-des-Vignes Abbey= 44–50 VISIT TO THE SURROUNDINGS =St-Crépin-en-Chaye Château= 53 =Vauxrot-Pasly= 56–60 =Saint-Paul—Saint-Médard= 60–61 =Faubourg St-Waast= 62–63 [Illustration: STREET DEFENCE-WORKS IN THE FAUBOURG ST-WAAST.] ‘OFFICE NATIONAL DU TOURISME’ _17, Rue de Surène, PARIS-8^e_ The ‘Office National du Tourisme’ was created by Act of Parliament on April 8th 1910, and reorganized in 1917. It enjoys civil privileges and financial autonomy. It is directed by an Administrative Council chosen by the Minister of Public Works. Its mission is to seek out every means of developing travel; to urge, and if necessary to take any measure capable of ameliorating the conditions of the transport, circulation and sojourn of tourists. It co-ordinates the efforts of touring societies and industries, encourages them in the execution of their programmes and stimulates legislative and administrative initiative with regard to the development of travel in France. It promotes understanding between the Public Services, the great Transport Companies, the ‘Syndicats d’Initiative’ and the ‘Syndicats Professionnels’. It organises propaganda in foreign countries; and tends towards the creation of Travel Inquiry Offices in France and abroad, with a view to making known the scenery and monuments of France, as well as the health-giving powers of French mineral waters, spas and bathing places.
