Its tower, called De Payberland, stands alone, like that of St.Michel; and is only less stupendous than that wonder of architecture.

The size and height of the aisles and choir are amazing, and the nave of the choir is bold and grand in the extreme.

The two spires of the southern portal are of great beauty, and the whole fabric is full of interest, though scarcely a tomb remains.

There are, however, several exquisitely-carved canopies where tombs have been, and, standing close to one of the large pillars behind the choir, is a group which excited my utmost interest; it seems to represent the Virgin and St.
Anne, but might have another meaning.

A figure in a nun's habit stands close against a pillar in a niche, and by her side is a little girl of about eleven years of age, in the full costume of the thirteenth century, one of whose hands touches her robe, and who appears under her protection.
