ANOTHER WALK STARTS AT THE CHURCH WHERE
THE LAST BATTLE PROBABLY TOOK PLACE, AND CONTINUES ALONG THE ROUTE WHERE THE SURVIVING COMMUNARDS MUST HAVE FLED
Created toward 1860 when expecting insurrections, the space
surrounding it was meant to harbor troops, cannon and horses.
It must be the site "west" of the jail where Sérizier deposited the monks and left with his men to fight on. *

Place Jeanne-d'Arc: Notice the void.
Toward 5 p.m., the battle lost, the Communards faded into their neighborhood and Sérizier, who was too well-known to go home,
took refuge in a house on a neighboring street. *
