Ľancienne grande fleche de la cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Châlons-en-Champagne

The tower of the cathedral in Châlons-en-Champagne was topped by a big wooden helmet, completed according to an older model in 1520 and destroyed after a fire in the 1660s. After a brief survey of the construction history of the cathedral, the author of the study focuses on the original look of the tower and on its functional and style qualities.
