[442] Violet-le-Duc (Vol. IV, pp. 75-77) calls attention to the
architectural refinements in this church, mentioning the use of arches
flattened on their inner face and curved on the outer between the apse
and triforium. It is also interesting to note that here as in Saint
Remi the vault of the triforium differs from that of the ambulatory
proper. The arrangement at Saint Remi has been described, that at
Chalons consists of a simple four-part vault of trapezoidal form with
outer and inner sides curved.
[443] Examples at Strassburg, Cath., Neubourg (Eure), ch. (irregular
type of ch. with central pier and triangular apse. See plan in Enlart,
I, p. 590, Fig. 317) and Tewkesbury Abbey (here even the triangular
bays open into chapels). See also Cléry (Loiret) (fifteenth century)
(plan in Baudot and Perrault-Dabot, III, pl. 60).
[444] Plan in Caumont, p. 396.
[445] Examples not mentioned include, Beeskow; Keisheim; Stargarde,
Johanniskirche (slightly elaborated); Treptow (considerably
elaborated); Worms, Liebfrauenkirche; Arles, Saint Trophime, etc.

[448] These two churches not only show the vault with simple added
ribs but the last named is most interesting as showing an ambulatory
equal in height to the apse, a most unusual arrangement.
[449] This church also presents certain changes in the arrangement of
the ribs but these are unimportant.
[450] See also Kuttenberg.
[451] A similar plan on a smaller scale and with only two side chapels
occurs at Ville-neuve-le-Comte (Seine-et-Marne) (plan in Enlart, I, p.
485, Fig. 232) and the same arrangement in churches with central plan
appears at Trier in the Liebfrauenkirche while other examples include
Lisseweghe; Toul, Saint Gengoulf; Xant; Oppenheim; Ludinghausen;
Anclam; Lübeck, Saint Jakob; Lagny (Seine-et-Marne) (illustrated in
Lenoir, Part II, p. 207) and Kaschau (Hungary) (illustrated in Lenoir,
Part II, p. 208). See also Enlart, I, p. 485, note 2.

[453] Such chapels were frequently omitted all through both the
Romanesque and Gothic periods even in churches with an ambulatory and
were not therefore established parts of the church plan. For examples
of such chapels see Enlart, I, p. 228 note 2 and p. 485 note 3 and
Lasteyrie, p. 297.
