Notre-Dame: Look at the Chancel
by hquittner
The chancel has attractions other than the tapestries. The tall narrow ambulatory columns have been rebuilt upon the old ones and some of the figurated capitals survive, find them. There is a blind triforium and nice old stained glass in the clerestory. See the fine candlesticks on the altar and the ancient lecturn with an ancient volume of musical-liturgy.
La rivière Bouzaise.
by Chicham
tte rivière passe sous le centre de la ville et sous les Hospices de Beaune où elle servait anciennement d'égout à l'ensemble des services.
On peut la voir couler au travers d’une ouverture dans le sol de la salle Saint-Nicolas.
Elle réapparaît à l'air libre et propre du côté des remparts.
