The radiating chapels of the choir are more interesting, notably the lady-chapel, which contains old glass removed thither from the church of St. Julien, the subject of one of Turner's rhapsodies in his "Seine and Loire."

The distance was hidden by long, waving grasses, over which the blue line of the Corinthian Alps seemed to hover like a cloud.
