The windows of the Aisles are similar to the lofty windows of the nave. The walls were formerly hung with valuable tapestries, which were taken down and evacuated by the Historical Monuments Department at the outbreak of the War. The two oldest, dating back to about 1440, and known as the tapestries of the fort roi Clovis, were presented by Cardinal Charles de Lorraine, and depict the history of Clovis. Those of the Renaissance, given in 1530 by Archbishop Robert de Lenoncourt, who caused himself to be portrayed kneeling in the picture of the Birth of Christ, depict the Life of the Virgin. The most modern, presented in 1640 by Archbishop Henri de Lorraine and worked by the Fleming, Daniel Pepersack, represent Jesus at the Marriage at Cana in Galilee and Jesus among the Doctors.
At the foot of the walls, three stone steps serve as seats.

(See plan, p. [33], and the Exterior, p. [42].)
The inner façade is partially hidden by the great organ, built about 1487 and transformed several times since then. Of the original organ the loft only remains, the Gothic balustrading of which is pierced with Flamboyant arcading.
