SAINT-VIVIEN.

This church has given its name to the street in which it is situated. It

was formerly but a chapel in the midst of meadows and marshes. In the

year 1209, it was situated, without the town. It was formerly low and

dark; in 1636, the roof was raised to a greater height. Before the year

1661, the organ was placed, in the left aisle: at this period, it was

placed in its present situation. This church does not offer any thing

very remarkable, unless perhaps its lofty steeple, in the form of a

sugar loaf.
