We also remark the statue of Sainte-Cécile, which is placed between two
pillars of the corinthian order. The other chapels, except that of the
Virgin, do not offer any thing remarkable.

English tourists will find in the latter, the tomb of the youngest son
of Talbot; the following is the epitaph:

Ci gist noble homme Jean Tallebot, fils du sieur de Tallebot,
Mareschal de France, qui deceda en aunees de puerilite, le IV
Banvier MCCCCXXXVIII.

The interior of the church contains several fine paintings, such as:
_The miracle of the loaves_, by Daniel Hallé, and _a Visitation_, by
Deshayes, of Rouen, in the chapel of the Virgin; _an opening of the holy
gate_, by Léger, of Rouen, behind the pulpit on the wall of the aisle.
This painting has been much spoiled by the damp. The different chapels
also contain some less worthy of notice.

The great tower is altogether a monument of great beauty. Its height is
about one hundred feet above the roof of the church. It is surmounted by
a crown wrought in openwork and of a fine effect. The total height of
the tower is two hundred and forty four feet, from the pavement of the
church. It is supported, in the interior of the edifice, by four
pillars, each formed of a group of twenty four columns.

The whole body of the church is supported, to the exterior, by thirty
four arches, forming with the buttresses by which they are supported, a
most magnificent ensemble.
