[Illustration: THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN CAPITAL SINS] _A little further on is the_ =Maison Leguy=, recognisable by its hexagonal turret, which rests on one of the corner pillars of the arcades. Tradition attributes its construction to the Templars, and says that a subterranean passage led from it across the Moselle and up to Mousson. _The turret is at the corner of Rue Victor Hugo, which take to see, in the Rue de l’Union (first street on the left), two curious doors at Nos. 6 and 8._ _Return to Place Duroc, turn to the left into Rue St. Laurent and see, in the court of No. 9_, a fine gallery delicately carved in Renaissance style (slightly damaged by the bombardment); _at No. 11_, a handsome façade with a charming court, an old well, the railing of the old terrace, a spiral staircase and timbered ceilings; _at No. 19_, the façade, door and entrance. [Illustration: OLD RENAISSANCE BALCONY AT NO. 7, RUE ST. LAURENT] [Illustration: CHURCH OF ST. LAURENT] _Opposite No. 19 is the_ =Church of St. Laurent=; it was slightly damaged, the roof being pierced by shells in several places. This church, frequently restored, offers no particular interest. Inside there is a =reredos= in the form of a triptych, which came from the neighbouring Convent of the Poor Claires at Pont-à-Mousson. This work is by “_Georgin le painctre_,” and dates from the 16th century. It represents: the _Baptism of Christ_, the _Resurrection of Lazarus_, _the Healing of the Blind at the Pool_, and the _Burial of Christ_. The Chapel of Our Lady of Pity contains a celebrated “Christ carrying the Cross” by _Ligier Richier_. (_See note, p. 56, regarding this famous sculptor’s works._) [Illustration: TEMPORARY BRIDGE OVER THE MOSELLE (_left bank_)] [Illustration: DESTROYED STONE BRIDGE OVER THE MOSELLE, WITH TEMPORARY WOODEN FOOT-BRIDGE] [Illustration: CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN. WEST FRONT] [Illustration: CHURCH OF ST. MARTIN _14th century tomb of a knight and his wife._] _Return to the Place Duroc, take the street leading to the bridge, which comes out opposite the “House of the Seven Capital Sins.”_ The fine stone bridge was partly destroyed. A temporary footway, however, makes it possible to _cross the Moselle here and reach the Rue Gambetta_. _On the left, at the corner of Rue St. Martin, stands_ the greatly damaged =Church of St. Martin.= All the stained-glass windows were destroyed. Several shells pierced the walls and roof. The Church of St. Martin (_Hist. Mon._) is the old church of the Antonists, and was built in 1474.
