By ten o'clock at night all preparations were made and it was agreed that the ringing of the bell of Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois for matins was to be the signal for the massacre. A gentleman of the Admiral's household taking his way homeward that night passed several men bearing sheaves of pikes upon their shoulders, and never suspected whom these weapons were to arm.
On days of a certain atmosphere, when the trace of the Middle Age comes out, like old marks in the stones in rainy weather, I seemed actually to have seen the tortured figure there to have met Denys l'Auxerrois in the streets. It was a winter-scene, by Adrian van de Velde, or by Isaac van Ostade.
"Are two different things, I know. So your opinion is, that they will never pay me?" "I fear not." "Diable!" "And frankly " "Well?" "They will be right, sire." "Why so?" "Because you did not know your part of king; you should have got it at once." "Do you not, then, remember the tocsin of St. Germain l'Auxerrois?" said Henri, bitterly.
No sooner had he reached them than he was attacked by the Northmen, but drawing his sword he defended himself with immense bravery until the garrison ran down to his succour, and the Danes were driven back to their ship with loss of nearly half of their party. The Danes now left the church of St. Germain L'Auxerrois and surrounded the monastery of St.
Scarcely had Calvert left the Legation when he heard the alarm from the great bell of St. Germain l'Auxerrois that fatal bell which had rung in the Massacre of St. Bartholomew two hundred and twenty years before and almost immediately after there came the sounds of musketry and cannonading from the direction of the palace of the Tuileries.
Gervais being entirely reconstructed in 1420, and that of St. Germain l'Auxerrois so considerably repaired as to be almost rebuilt in 1425, besides several colleges, hospitals and bridges; companies of archers, cross-bow men and armourers were also established.
On the 21st of January, 1535, a solemn procession issued from the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois. John du Bellay, Bishop of Paris, held in his hands the holy sacrament, surrounded by the three sons of France and the Duke de Vendome, who were the dais-bearers; and the king walked behind, with a taper in his hand, between the Cardinals of Bourbon and Lorraine.

From the Châtelet Station of the Métropolitain we strike northwards along the Rue St. Denis, passing R. and L. the Rue des Lombards, the Italian business quarter of old Paris, where Boccaccio, son of Boccassin, the money-changer, was born.

He stopped and noted the house whence the smoke came: it was the house of the preceptor of the Duke of Guise.
But of all the actors in this scene he alone knew the real danger he incurred, and his coolness never deserted him for a moment. The third day, as he walked alongside the handcart on which the chest was being conveyed, he was accosted at Saint Germain l'Auxerrois by a creditor who had obtained a writ of execution against him, and at the imperative sign made by this man the porter stopped.
