Saint-Philibert church of Tournus

In the churches of the region built on the Cluny model, Autun, Paray-le-Monial, the narthex is always separated from the nave, because it could constitute a sufficient line of defence to dissuade bands of brigands in times of trouble. This explains the narrowness of the access doors inside.
