Urban development stagnates
During this period of upheaval, practically the only architectural work carried out was on the town's religious buildings. The Saint-Marcel church was enlarged and given an ossuary-crypt. Secular construction, on the other hand, stagnated. The abandonment of a part of the housing meant that small parcels of land could be consolidated. A continuous frontage of small houses is maintained only in the town's squares and market streets. In economic terms, the town entered a difficult period. At the same time, the abbey's revenues were strained by the decline in the Lendit Fair, which would start up again in 1444
