The Second Storey
The second storey comprises a series of niches, surmounted by sharply pointed gables and adorned with gigantic statues, known as the Kings' Gallery.
The central group, consisting of seven figures, commemorates the Baptism of Clovis. Clovis, standing in the baptismal font; between Saint Remi, receiving the Sacred Ampulla, and Clotilda.
The balcony in front of the Baptism of Clovis was formerly called the Gloria Gallery, as it was the custom for the choir-boys to sing the Gloria there on Palm Sunday.
The Upper Portion of the Towers
The upper storey of the towers, built on an octagonal plan, is flanked with four open-work turrets, one of which contains stairs leading to the platforms.
The northern tower, badly damaged by the fire of 1914, lost several of the fine colonnettes of its corner turrets in 1918.
In the same year, the pierced staircase of the southern tower was almost entirely destroyed.
At the time of the last restorations, the foundations of the spires provided for in the original plans, but which have never been built, were laid.
In the belfry of the northern tower are two magnificent deep-toned bells. One of them is modern and was cast at Le Mans, and blessed in 1849 by Cardinal Gousset. The other, one of the finest bells known, and presented to the church in 1570 by Cardinal Charles de Lorraine, is the work of the Rheims metal-founder, Pierre Deschamps.
