could be traced on one side of this cloister, two members of that house having been Abbots commendatory of the Lérins. This probably marks the date of the restoration--fifteenth century--but the original pillars seem to be at least a century older. Some of the tiles of the floor, which are of a plain red colour and square, still remain. Although the cloister is now roofed in over the first floor, the section (_see_ Fig. 170) indicates that there was formerly a third story. The corbels in the wall to support the beams of the roof are distinctly visible. The roof may have formed a platform nearly on the level of the battlements. The two upper floors were not vaulted, but arches were thrown across at the four angles (_see_ Fig. 172) against the outer wall so as to strengthen and steady the whole structure. On the first floor (Fig. 171) the northern addition forms a recess, covered with a plain circular vault, and lighted by a wide window provided with stone seats. The east projection also forms a recess with a small window and a locker in the wall. This was probably the sacristy, as it adjoins the chapel in the south wing. [Illustration: FIG. 171. CASTLE OF ST HONORAT, LÉRINS.] The southern wing or projection seems to be of the same date as the original castle, and to have formed part [Illustration: FIG. 172. UPPER CLOISTER, CASTLE OF ST HONORAT.] of it. On the ground floor it is covered with a plain semicircular tunnel vault similar in construction to that of the northern projection, but there is no indication on the exterior of there having been any extension of the masonry, such as above indicated at the northern end. The first floor of the south wing contains the chapel, 25 feet by 26 feet with a groined vault about 28 feet high (_see_ Fig. 170). The ribs are large and of a square section, and rest on plain corbels in the angles, the construction of the whole being very simple. The windows are small and have the same recesses deeply splayed towards the outside, as occur in the old part of the east wall in the upper cloister, and which indicate an early date. [Illustration: FIG. 173. UPPER CLOISTER, ST HONORAT, DETAILS.] The chapel was probably part of the original design, and was restored in the fourteenth century. We read that in 1342, the Abbot Geoffrey had the “choir” constructed in Toulon. This no doubt refers to a wooden gallery or stalls, which were then fitted up, but have now entirely disappeared.
