HANGING BOSSES
The galleries of the cathedral are among the most beautiful in France. The above view, taken from the choir galleries which overlook the southern part of the transept, shows those of the nave in enfilade.
In order to visit these galleries the key must be obtained from the vestry.
In the chapel seen on the right as one re-enters the church by the south door, the visitor will notice the hanging bosses of the vault of which a view is given opposite.
In the chapter house at the north-west end of the cathedral (see plan, p. [58]), is seen the curious capital of the central pillar, on which is carved a feast of jesters.
The opposite view shows a fragment of it.
CAPITAL IN THE CHAPTER HOUSE (CATHEDRAL)
Two of the figures are playing the organ, that on the right is working the bellows, another with a stick beats the tambourine that he holds between his legs; on the remainder of the capital other figures are dancing.
