This basilica, an emblem of Gothic architecture, is known as the final resting place of the kings and queens of France
Over the centuries, the basilica was built around the tomb of Saint Denis, martyred around 250 A.D. Different architectural styles were used from the5th to the 13th century. In addition to its Carolingian crypt, the basilica, an emblem of Gothic architecture, is best known as the final resting place of the kings of France, with its collection of tombs and stained glass windows. The ones you'll see are copies, the originals having been removed due to their fragility.

Visite recommendée en pleine journée.
Il y fait très frais donc il faut prévoir une "petite laine".
Musée nationale donc gratuit pour les moins de 18 ans donc cela fait une visite familiale pas chère. :)
Située au centre de la ville, cette église gothique est impressionnante et constitue la nécropole de nombreux rois de France.
A voir même si elle se situe dans une ville qui n'est pas des plus accueillantes de France...
