From once, one of the most influential abbeys of Paris remained little. For example, a masterpiece by Paul-Claude de Creus in 1672-1676, the magnificent staircase of the Prophets, which rests on two columns, symbolizes the ascent to the light and personifies access to knowledge.

The lobby at the foot of the staircase is decorated with 4 statues representing the great prophets Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. With them, a person symbolically passes from the Old Testament to the New, and this transition is figuratively expressed by the Virgin with the infant, who begins his life.
