Church treasure displayed in an alarmed room in the Sainte Croix church in the city center. Objects placed on shelves behind glass cabinets protected by another alarm.
Comprising 21 reliquaries from, among other places, the Arliquet chapel and the former Tarn chapel.
The collection features a wide range of religious objects: monstrances, ciboria, porcelain vases, reliquary arms, a reliquary containing fragments of the true cross, and more. Of particular note are two remarkable 13th-century champlevé enamel reliquary caskets: a Saint André-Hubert de Fournet reliquary casket and a Saint Blaise reliquary casket.
These reliquaries were brought out during the Ostensions in Aix-en-Provence on the shrine. They can also be viewed on an exceptional basis by appointment with the Val de Vienne tourist office, which requests authorization from the town hall.
