Clermont-Ferrand - Notre-Dame-Du-Port

            Transept, choir, ambulatory and the radiating chapels of Notre-Du-Port from outside! In the residential-building opposite the church is a public balcony up the third floor,  to see this! "Merci beaucoup!" to the people living there, tolerating all the tourists on their stairs up and down.

Unfortunately my camera does not offer the wide angle, needed to take the photo, I wanted...

These "multi-staging" chevets/apses are very typical for the romanesque churches of the Auvergne. Compare this to "Saint-Nectaire" or "Notre-Dame d’Orcival". The mosaics and the capitals are renovated, but still pretty original. Only the roof-tiles got replaced recently.

Note the carved capital in the middle under the roof. Two griffons drinking out of a chalice.
