Chapelle Expiatoire in Paris, surrounded by a garden ideal for picnics in summer, which remains a place of pilgrimage for some.

The construction of Chapelle Expiatoire ended in the first half of the 19th century, its work was commanded by Louis XVIII. The building, with its infamous reputation, is reminiscent of the darkest hours of the Revolution and the Terror. The walls are erected at the location of the former Madeleine Cemetery, where the bodies of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette were buried before transferring their remains to the Basilica of Saint Denis. The style of the chapel is reminiscent of neo-classicism, a very sought-after aesthetic under the reign of Louis XVI. It remains a pilgrimage place for some, and is surrounded by a garden where it is good to have a picnic in summer.

Seulement pour les amateurs d’histoire de la Revolution francaise. Les victimes de la guillotine, aristocrates et revolutionnaires dans la meme fosse. La liste des guillotinés et enterrés là (au moins les plus connus) devrait etre affichée, comme c’est le cas au cimetière de Picpus.

Un monument aussi passionnant qu’inconnu, à deux pas des grands magasins sur le boulevard Haussmann.
