On the south was the Hill of Ste. Genevieve, with its churches 77 CATHERINE DE' MEDICI and colleges, its monastery-orchards and green convent- gardens, sloping steeply down to the river. The fashionable region, made up of narrow streets, shockingly paved and worse lighted, lay to the right. Here in the Rue du Temple was Diane's sombre palace. La Barbette, while close by, in the Rue St. Antoine, was the Hotel of Madame d'Estampes. The Bourbons lived opposite in the Louvre itself, still rather st...ern and only half concerned with the Renaissance. But the Court often lodged, as of old, in the ancient Palace of Les Tournelles : Les Tournelles, with its famous galerie des Courges where the courtiers walked — the Gallery of Angels which the Duke of Bedford had had painted more than a hundred years earlier. From its azure ceiling there descended " a legion of Angels playing on sweet instruments and singing anthems to Our Lady," and angels upholding princely blazons floated down its whole length.
