TROTES.
A Neglected French Tavra anal lu lllntorjr
-ineiianeeoi inumpnie(
From the London Saturday Itevifw.
We can hardly wonder that the bulk of
English travellers, rushing through Rome of
the tamest scenery in the world on their way
to some of the grandest, pause only for the
half-hour of its buffet at the capital of Cham
pagne. The dullness of the great northern
plain of France is a little hard to bear with
tne glories ot tne Alps in lull prospect, but
the Alps will wait patiently for a day or two,
and for travellers of the gentler order, t
whom hurry and night-e-xpremes are an
abomination, we can hardly suggest a town
which will better repay the expenditure of a
little time and trouble than the good town of
Troves. To Englishmen indeed it has a
double historical interest first, as the capi
tal of a house which once promised to set
sovereigns ot its blood on the throne
of England: and again as the
scene of the treaty which roilowed
Agincourt, and whose result, had not the
course of events torn it to shreds, must have
been to render England a mere dopendenoy
of France. But simply as a town it is full of
interest. Its cathedral fairly holds its own
even in the neighborhood of Beauvais and
Itheims. In the Church of St. Urbain it
possesses a building in which the deoorative
art of the thirteenth century has reaohed its
highest point of perfection. Busy and
thriving, too, as the place is, its streets retain
much of that older nicturesqueness which
everywhere through France is vanishing be
fore Trefet and Maire. In an electoral ad
dress which he has lately issued, the Maire of
Troyes appeals pathetically to his fellow-citizens
not to show, by their rejection of him,
a wish to nndo all that thirty years of oivio
administration have done. We fear that not
even the rejection of so important a func
tionary would restore to Troyes all that those
thirty years have swept away the Church of
the Jacobins, or the ancient Butchery, or the
palace of the Counts, or the lordly circuit of its
walls. But losses like these have taken
less from the interest of Troyes than they
would have taken from that of most towns.
Its charm lies not so much in feudal or eccle
siastical remains as in the tall pargeted
houses, the steep gables with the deeply-re
cessed arch, in their front, the large court
yards with the galleries round them, the
rusted pulleys or the projecting dormers
which reveal tne real life of the Nuremburgof
.trance, 'lne character of the town is indi
cated bv its very site. It lies in a centle diD
of the monotonous level, the lower city hud
dled round its cathedral on an almost imper
ceptible slope to the east, the upper grouped
round the Hotel de Ville on the higher rise to
the west. The two are still as distinct as
ever, and the canal which runs in the hollow
between them serves, as the comitial palace
which it swept away did of old, to sever the
town of the merchant from the town of the
bit-hop and the count.
Of the last of these, as it is tne older part
of the whole, we will speak first. It is a
little amusng to recall the steep hill-side of
Lincoln in these flats of Champagne, but the
way in which the castle and cathedral of our
English city are set side by side may enable
the reader to understand the arrangements of
the lower town of Troyes. Over its southern
half towers the mass of the Minister of St.
Peter, with the Bishop's borough sloping
gently by the narrow, tangled streets of the
old Butchery to the island and mills which
mask the head waters of Seine. To the north
of it is the site of the military fortres, which
time and Henri Quatre have united to destroy.
To the cathedral itself guide books, and even
Mr. Fergusson's notice in his "History of
Architecture," give scant justice. No doubt
much of the detail has been tampered
with by modern restoration, and though
the charge of insufficient height which
the last writer brings is unfair enough,
the nave, in spite of the double aisle
on either side, is perhaps a little
tame and ineffective. But, within and with
out, in the perfect proportions of each bay,
and in the noble grouping of its other
chapels, the choir is hardly to be surpassed.
Tie episcopal history of the town, however,
is uneventful, nor does the list of its prelates
present any name of remarkable eminence.
They were, in fact, overshadowed by the
Counts. It is strange, as one stands on the
grassy site of their donjon, or beside the
canal which has obliterated their palace, to
think how utterly all trace of the
House of Champagne has vanished from
its capital. None of the great houses of
France were destined to so strange a fate.
Inheritors by marriage of the Carolingian
blood, by geographical position alike depen
dent and independent of France and of the
Empire, velding gradually together the belt
of provinces from Chartres and Touraine by
Blois to Troyes which held as in a prison
house the infant realm of Hugh Capet, the
descendants of Thibaut the Trickster
seemed, through the ninth and tenth
centuries, to hold the fortunes of France in
their bands. The earlier kings were but
their puppets, the earlier Counts of Anjou
were their feudatories; it was they who led the
hosts of France against the hated Normans.
Thrice a crown Beemed within their grasp,
and yet, of all the feudal princes of the North,
they were the one house to which fate refused
a throne, lne most daring ana powerful ot
their line fell in seizing the realm of Aries.
The Norman dukes, so long the object of thoir
hate, succeeded not only in baluing their ue
signs on the throne of France, but in tLem
selves becoming lords of England. Their feu
datories of Anjou, after plundering thorn of
their fairest province, ballled thoir attempt
to found a royal line in Stephen, and
set an Angevin count on the throne
of William and of Alfred. The truth is
that tne counts, brilliant, ambitious as
they were, wanted the patienoe, the foro
the restless energy, which in their different
wava luted their three rivals to greatness.
At home, however, thoir rule seems to have
been very mild and beneficent. Like the
neighboring rulers of Flanders, their policy
bent itself especially to the encouragement
of industry, and now that tne statelier me
moriuls of their rule have disappeared, its
memory is touchingly preserved by a gift
which for seven centuries has proved the life
of their capital. By canalizing the head
waters of Seine and distributing them through
the town, the Counts gave its mills a force
which is estimated in our own days as more
than a thousand horse-power. In this gift
lay the secret of the stubborn vitality which
has carried Troyes over a series of catastro
phes which woald have been fatal to most
towns, and, above all, over the cessation of
the great commercial exchange with which
its name is most familiarly connected.
It is not often that we refer our readers to
Mrs. Mngnall's catechism, but there is one
answer in that remarkable compilation of
useful knowledge which unfolds succinctly
enough the main interest of Troyes. The
ingenious questioner who asks why a certain
table in called Troy Weight, is told that it re
ceived its name from its use at the fair of
Troyes. Through the eleventh and twelfth
centuries its fairs stood first among the great
commercial gatherings in which the reviving
spirit of trade and industry was undoing
the isolation of the darker ages which had
passed away. But even in destroying these
they illustrated in a vivid Jway the local
jealousies, the industrial hostility of the
world which they wore transforming. Just
as in the one great fair which still preserves
the tradition of the pant, the Russian fair of
Novgorod, the jealousy of guilds and peoples
showed itself at 1 roves in the sepa
rate stations occupied by the various
trades and languages as they stood
marshalled on the hill slope that
led down to the abbey of NoUre Dame. Below
the drapers of Flandors stood the merchants of
the Levant; the traders of Arras were faoe to
faco with the money-changers of Cahors; be
neath, tho buttresses of St. Johns sate the
Lucca bankers: the narrow side streets were
full of the stalls of Montauban and Douai, or
of traffickers who thronged thither from the
rose gardens of Trovins. Hay market and
leather market clustered round the abbey
walls, and in the midst of the hungry, disor
derly crowd, the provident care of the oounts
had established an oven and a pillory. All
the local names which preserved those curious
details have been swept away by the spirit of
modern improvement, but the street now
called the Rue Notre Dame, whioh leads down
the slope of the upper town to the Prefecture,
has, in fact, grown out of the long line of
movable stalls which formed tho Fair. In
the midst of it stands the Church of St. John,
originally the chapel of the traders, but
linked ly one memorable event with our
own history. The Treaty of Troyes, in
which the succession of France passed
with the hand of Katherine to Henry of Lan
caster, was signed before the high altar of
the cathedral; the wooing, so oddly told by
Shakespeare, must have taken place in the
palace of the counts. The marriage itself was
celebrated in the Church of bt. John. Strange
as its general effect is, the Church is worthy
of its historio renown. Its great length gives
it the air of being a far grander building than
it really is. The nine bays of its nave look
even longer through the flatness of the low
vaulting, while a weird surprise is flung over
the whole by the sudden rise of the choir to
almost double the height of the western por
tion of the church. W e can hardly doubt that
Henry's choice of the church for his marriage
was part of that policy of conciliation towards
the merchant class which showed itself at
home in his commercial legislation, and in
the elaborate accounts of his victories which
he forwarded to his citizens of London. The
Fair had, indeed, long lost its earlier import
ance in the fifteenth century, but the fine
houses of the merchant princes of that date,
with their huge recessed gables and pic
turesque oriels projecting over the
street, show that even then it
remained one of the great industrial
centres of France. It is this stiiotly indus
trial character which distinguishes its history
so sharply from that of most towns of its
class. It is often as interesting to notice
what is not in a town as what is in it, and
what the eye at once misses in Troyes is any
monument of purely municipal life. The fine
Hotel de Ville is of comparatively modern
date; there is no town tower, no beffroi, as at
Amiens or St. Biquior, to tell of struggles for
liberty, or for the political independence of
the commune. Perhaps it was a tittle difnoult
to quarrel even for independence with such
sovereigns as the Count of Champagne. But
this utter absence of all elements strange to
our modern ideas gives us, as we stand in
its streets, a sense of continuous life such
as we seldom find elsewhere. From
its first origin till to-day the life of
the town moves without a break. . Its very
site indicated the peaceful, busy tompor
which it has preserved throughout; Celtic as
is ite origin, the gentle dip of the oity of the
Tricassini forms a startling contrast to the
height crowned with the towers of Celtic
Chartres. It is a busy thriving place still,
and is evidently sharing in the fresh commer
cial impulse which recent legislation has
give to the towns of Northern France. But
its charm lies in the fact that trade and com
merce are no new comers in it; the frequent
wains, the whirl of the stoeking-loem, the
cotton bales piled in its courtyards, are only
the continuation of an industrial enorgy
which reaches back for eight hundred years.
The most exquisite monument of architec
tural art within its walls is, in fact, the con
secration of this industrial spirit. Son of a
poor cobbler of Troyes, Jacques Pantaloon
rose from the post of choir-boy in its cathe
dral to the highest office in the mediieval
Church. As a Pope he in famous for the
cruel extinction of the House of Hohenstauf
fen, and for the handing over of Southern
Italy to Charles of Anjou. As a citizen of
Troyes he has left a noble memorial in the
church which he erected on the site of his
father's shop. Mere fragment as it is, for of
the nave only a single story was ever com
pleted, St. Urbain's ranks among the finest
examples of the art of tho thirteenth century.
It is idle to compare it, as is sometimes done,
with the Sainte Chapelle; its characteristio
feature is rather to be found in the union of
the perfect grace . and purity of such a
rival with a freedom nnd variety of decora
tive treatment which is especially its own.
Within, there is something German iu
the detached repetition of the lower
window tracery, and in the window
like treatment of the transeptal doors,
but the chief decoration of the building is
lavished on its exterior. Here ornament it
carried to its furthest limit without ever be
coming feeble or f alue; the quatrefoils of the
windows encased in detached tabernacle work
which points up to the graceful line of the
balustrade; the delicate flying buttresses rest
ing on piers, every one of whioh ie treated as
a separate work of art. The church, con
tinued after the Pope's death by his nephew,
remains unfinished as he left" it, with the
original wooden pent-houses which served as
a temporary western porch. M. 'Viol lot le
Duo is said to have in his portfolio a plan for
its restoration, and, judging by our experience
of French restoration, we should advise all
students of architecture. who wish to see the
work of Pope Urbain and not of M. Viollet
lo Duo, to set about seeing St. Urbain's at
once. For such students there is a great dsal
more that is worth seeing at Troyes. Not a
trace of Romanesque work, indeed, remains;
but, from the thirteenth to the eighteenth
century, tho series of architectural illustra
tions is complete. The cathedral iteelf
advances bay by bay from the pure first-
fointed of its choir-chapels to the profuse
lamboyant of its western front. St. John's
represents the transition from the lost style to
that of the Renaissance, and the style of the
Renaissance is characteristically expressed in
the Church of St. Pantaleon. Small as it is,
the last church in its extravagance of orna
ment offers the most instructive of contrasts
to the Church of St. Urbain. Nowhere does
the eye seize more clearly the difference be
tween the decorative detail which flows natu
rolly, as it were, from the character of the
fabric, and ornament stuck in to hide con
structional deficiencies. Exquisite as, in its
own way, it undoubtedly in, the famous jube
of the Church of the Madeleine contrasts in
the same unfavorable way with the severe
beauty of the transept In which it is placed.
The town is, in fact, full of objects of the
highest interest, and deserves far greater
notice than it has as yet obtained. It is at
any rate well worth a visit by any who are
looking for a resting-place on their way to
Basle.
