Term in French architecture for a peculiar arrangement of the eastern end of a church, when the apse is enclosed by an open screen of columns on the ground floor, opening into an aisle, which again opens into three or more apsidal chapels. An example of this is the Basilica of Saint Martin, Tours, from which others have been copied. Later the easternmost of the crown of chapels became the Lady Chapel.
