Collection trésor de Vix - Ecran 1

In January 1953, archaeologists René Joffroy and Maurice Moisson found this woman’s tomb filled with precious objects known today as the Vix Treasure. This extraordinary discovery was made at the foot of Mont Lassois, near the village of Vix, 6 kilometers north of Châtillon-sur Seine.
The lady, known as the Princess of Vix, was laid down on a wagon box with precious jewelry. The burial chamber also houses the colossal bronze vase and vessel for the banquet.
