Note 99 — Chapter IV · Notre Dame of Paris and Other Churches of the Capital[71]
Reading edition
Two miles from Mantes, across the river, is Gassicourt (Seine-et-Oise), once a Cluniac priory. Its earliest diagonals were built about 1125. The nave and tower are XII century; the choir and transept are Rayonnant Gothic. Some of the windows donated by Blanche of Castile remain. Bossuet long held the living of Gassicourt. See Lefèvre-Pontalis, “Monographie des églises Gassicourt, Meulan,” etc., in Bul. de la Commission des antiquités et des arts de Seine-et-Oise, 1885-88, vols. 5 to 8.
