    The Treasure of Vix is one of the most magnificent Celtic princely treasures (in this case, it is a princess) in the world. It was discovered in 1953 at the foot of Mont Lassois, in the town of Vix, very close to Chatillon-sur-Seine. The very beautiful Pays Chatillonais museum now houses the famous vase of Vix, and the gold tiara of the Lady of Vix. The vase is very impressive: it is 1.64 meters high, 1.29 meters wide and weighs over 200 kilograms. It could hold over a thousand liters of wine. Celtic princes and princesses of the late Iron Age (6th century BC) traded pewter with Mediterranean populations. They received sumptuous gifts in exchange.

      The museum is now located in a former monastery and is well worth a visit.
