At the top of the square, you can see the Saint-Martin church which is open every day.
Opposite the church, next to the pastry shop, the house with a manor-like appearance is the house of the Grenier brothers.
A little further up on the left, a cellar entrance: this is the Affiche Moilkan typography workshop! Push the door open and see how Steve and Elise work!
Opposite, a Belle Époque style house, the Villa Pierson.
Go under the railroad tracks and enter the cemetery: you are facing the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre (closed to the public except during guided tours).
Go back down Rue Barbier and turn right into Grande Rue. Take a look at the pretty Cour Charles Thuriet (at n°9).

A little further to the left, go into the dead end: here is the Hôtel Particulier des Sires de Neufchâtel now transformed into a museum.
Come back to rue Courvoisier. At the corner, next to the hotel, here is the house of the minister Courvoisier who gave his name to the street.

(At the end of the street turn right. You will see the old Sainte-Croix Hospital)
(Pass in front of the "Salle d'Asile", the ancestor of the kindergartens. Further down you see the former girls' boarding school, which is still a school today)
