similar bay on each side. The semi-circular arch of the bays is formed
of two grains surrounded by a chamfered band and resting on four small
attached columns. The capital baskets are carved with geometric designs
such as angle hooks and half-circles, while other baskets are carved

with the same moldings for the grains and similar sculptures for the
capital baskets. Photo by Alain Dermigny. [Alain-102]
