A sixteenth-century screen surrounds the choir, but is more like unto a triumphal arch than a churchly accessory.
The high altar is a comparatively modern work, as may be supposed, and dates only from 1810.
On the right of the choir is an elaborate Roman doorway, and preserved in the Chapter Room are five paintings depicting the "Chaste Susanne." A remarkable collection of reliques is shown by the sacristan, in the Chapelle des Reliques.

NOTRE DAME D'AUXONNE
The small town of Auxonne, lying between Dijon and Besançon, is seldom thought of in connection with a cathedral church. There is little there to compel one's attention beyond the fact that the Church of Notre Dame, of the fourteenth-sixteenth century, is an interesting enough example of a minor edifice which at one time was classed as a cathedral.
The church is mainly Gothic and has the unusual arrangement of a Romanesque tower rising above the transept.
