The stolen items included chalices, crosses and jewelery that belonged to bishops, Laurent Paris, chief director of Oloron City Hall, told ABC News. The most valuable items believed stolen are priestly vestments that date back to the 16th century and were a gift from France's King Francis I.An expert will be used to assess the value of the stolen items based on their"historic and patrimonial value", Paris said.
