rectangular chevet
From the outside it looks like a real fortress. The church alone is a keep topped with a bell tower which is as imposing as a feudal tower. The walls are bonded with large alternating blocks of blue and white marble. Among the architectural details of the building, one should point out the double rectangular chevet.

Guereau
: According to my ref. : Les chevets sont construits sur plans polygonaux, semi-circulaires ou même rectangualaires.
