The spires are octagonal, and are flanked by four pinacles and topped by two crosses of iron, and by a small form of a rooster, the symbol of the French State, which indicates the highest point of the building and is also the symbol of the French State, the owner of the Cathedral.The church is built with the hard stone of the Yonne and Meuse region for the foundations, the towers and the pillars, and the stone from the quarries of Saint-Maximim for the other elements.
