Note 115 — Chapter V · Era of the Great Cathedrals, Chartres, Rheims, Amiens
Reading edition
The Benedictines’ church at Orbais (Marne), between Rheims and Châlons, contains some exceptionally good XII-century windows. Its nave has been destroyed, but the transept and the choir, with its radiating chapels (c. 1200), survive. The World War swept over Orbais, but the abbatial is unharmed.
