In 847 A. D. ArchbishopNicman secured a renewal of the privileges, and in the presence of theking the building was consecrated in 862 A. D. The western entrance wasornamented with graven statues of Louis I. , the patron, Pope Stephen, and the archbishop himself.
This entire fabric succumbed to fire on the 6th of May, 1210, and thepresent structure rests merely on the remains of the ancient crypt, which in a measure survived. Few visible remains of this ancientfoundation are to-day visible. The ...new church reared itself rapidlyunder the immediate supervision of the Archbishop Alberic de Humbert. The choir, begun within two years of the fire, made such progress as toallow of the high altar being ceremoniously dedicated within threeyears; and, before the middle of the century, the records tell us thatthe main body of the church was entirely completed. The right tower wasuncompleted at this time, but was finished by Cardinal Philastre in1430, up to which time intermittent labour had evolved a superlativecombination of constructive and decorative excellencies.
