One of the major events of 1752, now forgotten, was the miracle of the rue Ste-Marguerite. […] Overlooking the corner of the rue Ste-Marguerite, where it joined the rue du faubourg St-Antoine, was a statue of the Virgin. Just after the procession had passed, someone looked up and cried out that the head of the statue had turned to look the other way, toward the main street instead of away.
