at Rheims; and is burned at
Rouen. West side, St. Louis as a child instructed by Blanche of Castille;
administering justice in the Palace; and a captive among the Saracens.
North aisle, history of Ste. Genevieve and St. Denis. The building is thus
at once the apotheosis of patriotism, and the lasting memorial of the part
borne by Christianity in French, and especially Parisian, history.
As you descend the steps of the Pantheon, the building that faces you to
the left is the Mairie of the 5th Arrondissement; that to the right, the
Ecole de Droit. Turn to the right along the north side of the Pantheon.
The long, low building which faces you is the Bibliotheque Ste. Genevieve.
Nothing now remains of the Abbey of Ste. Genevieve except the tall early
Gothic tower seen to the right near the end of the Pantheon, and rising
above the modern buildings of the Lycee Henri IV. The singularly
picturesque and strangely-mingled church across the little square is St.
Etienne-du-Mont, which we now proceed to visit.
Stand in the left-hand corner of the Place to examine the facade.
