The rooms of the Treasury, gathered in the sacristy of the chapter since the mid-nineteenth century. Their arrangements, made by Viollet le Duc, was renovated at the 850th anniversary of the cathedral. The rooms exhibit an impressive collection of ornaments, chalices, crosses, cameos representing the popes from St. Peter, and reliquaries (the original Treasury was looted during the Revolution). Here, the first reliquary of the Holy Crown of Thorns, with gilded copper and gold ground, was made in 1806 by goldsmith Charles Cahier. The world globe is surmounted by a cross, supported by three angels. The crown was sealed in the crystal, inserted into the base. Today, the base contains a piece of the true cross.
