Why Go
The church of Notre-Dame du Sablon, built by the crossbowmen's guild in the 15th century, glows at night through its tall stained-glass windows. Antiques stalls fill the square at weekends.
Across the street, the little Petit Sablon garden is ringed by 48 bronze statues of the city's medieval guilds.
