| At the level of the apse/choir and the transept arms
Erklärung:
But "niveau" is, obviously, usually used in architectural parlence when speaking of the *elevation* of a building, rather than its plan, so the sentence fragment here doesn't make too much sense to me, as is.
"Chevet" is, usually and stricktly speaking, the "apse" (the half round or, sometimes, rectangular East end of a church), which is normally, in a large church, seperated by a few ["straight"] bays of the choir from the transept arms' juncture with choir and nave.
Here "chevet" would seem to mean the whole ball of wax : choir and apse together, specifically the first bay of the choir which meets, at right angles, the transept arm.
Here’s a pretty good glossary of medieval architecture :

there’s a french one out there, somewhere, but I don’t seem to be able to find it.
