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. In addition to its crypt, the basilica, an emblem of Gothic architecture, is renowned for housing the tombs of the new kings of France. Since April 2025, visitors have been offered a new scenography: several tactile stations, accessible to young visitors, provide a better understanding of the site, and an animated film is shown in the nave.
