South Lateral Façade
At the foot of the south tower is St. Christopher’s door ([plan p. 22]), and to the right a statue of this saint carrying the child Jesus on his shoulder.
The buttresses separating the lofty, broad windows of the chapels of the nave, added in the 14th century, are decorated with superposed statues.
The gable of the south transept (photo opposite) is remarkable.
The upper portion of the great rose window is surrounded by a “wheel of fortune” (14th century).
On one side eight beardless youths climb up the wheel, while on the other side eight old men with beards descend with it.
In the middle is seated a figure with crown and sceptre.
