Abstract
The stability of the cathedral's choir (XIIIe) is a very ancient problem, but no works have ever been done on it. In the years of 1987, the analysis of the structure revealed that all the monument is well built, instead of the most exterior buttresses, which loads are not sufficient. The way of consolidation will use stainless steel rods, inserted into the top and the shoulder of the North and South flying buttresses, and both joined inside the main roof.
