To honor their founder, in 1827, the Lazarists built a chapel to house the relics of Saint Vincent de Paul. The reliquary is above the high altar. The stairways in the aisles to the altar lead to the impressive body. The skeleton of the saint's face and hands covered with wax, his body was dressed in the vestments. The cross in his hands would be that with which Saint Vincent attended King Louis XIII in his last moments. The chapel can be visited daily.
