True, and the central tower with the saints walking up the four sides andwhich tumbled on camera today, is a product of the 19th century gothicist,Violet Le Duc.  On the one hand he "restored" some clerestory windows andaperture arrangement to its original configuration, but then createdmany new arrangements in churches throughout France which were strictlyof his own creation.  A spectacular example is the flesche at the Abbey ofLe Mont Saint Michel.
