The cathedral's south tower, known as the "Black Tower" (Tour Noire), is one of the only surviving medieval wooden cathedral towers in the entire Île-de-France region. Built in timber as a temporary solution to house the bells, it was never replaced in stone. Dendrochronological analysis confirmed the oak timbers were felled between 1469 and 1471. A major restoration costing 3.6 million euros was completed in January 2026.
