The bell was cast on 31 October and removed from its mould and rung for the first time on 20 November. It was brought into the cathedral through the north portal where the trumeau had to be removed so the bell could fit through. [12] The bell's baptism was held on 29 April 1682, [13] officiated by archbishop François de Harlay de Champvallon.
