Durand Choir Plan and Section of the Foundations

Choir Plan and Section of the Foundations (Durand)

Body: 

This diagram, published by Georges Durand, originates with Viollet-le-Duc's excavation of the choir foundations. Viollet-le-Duc claimed to have found a gridded raft of stone descending to a depth of around 10 meters. The choir would need such substantial foundations since it sat upon an area that once formed the defensive ditch of the Roman wall.
