Their marble sarcophagi, which were later neglected, sold or destroyed, were not assembled again until the 18th C. Along the idyllic Allée des Tombeaux (Street of Graves), the only coffins now standing are the plain stone ones of the Middle Ages; the best ones are housed in the museums, especially in the Musée d'Art Chrétien, and in the Church of St Trophime. At the end of the Allée stands the Church of St-Honorat (12th C.), the only remains of which are the choir and the adjoining 15th-18th C. chapels. In the side-chapel on the left will be found a beautiful sarcophagus dating from the fourth century A.D.
