Nef (nave)
The longest part of a church, located between façade (facade) and abside (apse) (or the transept if there is one).
A church can have one single nave or a central nave with two or more bas-côtés (aisles, they are also part of the nave).
The axis of the nave coincides with the east-west axis of the church.
In plan the nave is indicated in pink.
The picture shows the nave and the two aisles of the Saint-Martin in Chapaize.

Passage berrichon (Berry passage ©)
This is a narrow passage in a wall seperating the nef (nave) from the bras de transept (transeptarm).
These passages are quite common in the Berry region around Bourges, hence the name.
When these passages are used, the nave usually has a rectangular shape without bas côtés (aisles).
The picture (Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption - Champlecy) clearly shows the two passages left and right, against the side wall of the nave.

Tribune (tribune)
Covered gallery above the bas-côtés (aisles) or the narthex of a church, with arcatures allowing looking out on the nef (nave).
When the corridor has the same width as the aisle underneath it, it is referred to as a tribune; otherwise it is a triforium.
In the picture the tribune above the narthex of the Sainte-Madeleine in Charnay-lès-Mâcon.

Triforium (triforium)
A triforium is a corridor above the bas-côté (aisle) of a church, having arcades between the grandes arcades (great arcades) seperating the nef (nave) from the aisle, and the fenêtres hautes (clerestory).
In early Christian basiliques (basilicas) the triforium was reserved for women.
When the corridor has the same width as the aisle underneath it, it is referred to as a tribune; otherwise it is a triforium.
The smaller arcades above the arcades grandes form the triforium.
The picture was taken at the Saint-Hilaire in Semur-en-Brionnais.
