In the chapel seen on the right as one re-enters the church by the south door, the visitor will notice the hanging bosses of the vault of which a view is given opposite. In the chapter house at the north-west end of the cathedral (_see plan, p. 58_), is seen the curious capital of the central pillar, on which is carved a feast of jesters. The opposite view shows a fragment of it. [Illustration: CAPITAL IN THE CHAPTER HOUSE (CATHEDRAL)] Two of the figures are playing the organ, that on the right is working the bellows, another with a stick beats the tambourine that he holds between his legs; on the remainder of the capital other figures are dancing. The chapter house was used by the canons of the cathedral. =Church of Saint-Frambourg= (historical monument) _This stands in a little street which opens on the south of the cathedral square. The church can be seen from the square._ [Illustration: SAINT-FRAMBOURG] This church was founded on the site of a Roman temple, by Queen Adelaide, wife of Hugues Capet. Rebuilt in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, transformed into a "Temple of Reason" during the Revolution, it now serves as a carpenter's workshop. On the façade one can distinguish the place intended for a large rose window, which, however, was never finished. On the left side of the façade stood a tower, since demolished. The church has no roof left above the vaulting. _To visit the interior (consisting of a single nave of graceful proportions) apply to the carpenter._ The entrance to the workshop is seen on the left of the photograph. =Church of Saint-Pierre= (historical monument) _Market-day on Tuesdays and Fridays. If the tourist should wish to go to the top of the belfry or to visit the church on other than market days, he must apply to the concierge of the Tribunal (county court) in the square._ This old town of Senlis is so rich in relics of the past that it puts its ancient religious monuments to quite profane uses. We have seen above that Saint-Frambourg shelters a carpenter. Saint-Pierre serves as a market, another church as a theatre, a fourth as a museum, and others as clothing stores or barns. Five have completely disappeared; as for the Abbey of Saint-Vincent, it has been turned into a college. [Illustration: SAINT-PIERRE] Saint-Pierre was founded in 1029 and reconstructed during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The roof of the nave was begun in stone, but completed in timber-work. The façade dates from the sixteenth century and recalls the work of Pierre Chambiges in the cathedral. The right-hand tower dates from the seventeenth century. From the upper platform there is a splendid view of the town and the surrounding forests. Another more ancient tower exists, the base of which is the remains of the primitive Roman church. The spire (the top of which is seen in the opposite photograph) was added in the fifteenth century. =The Castle= (historical monument)
