Royal Basilica of Saint-Denis

Royal necropolis of kings and queens of France – Private tour – 1 to 6 participants

Private guided visit of the Basilica of Saint-Denis. Discover the necropolis of the kings of France, the cradle of Christianity in France since the martyrdom of Saint-Denis in the 3rd century A.D., in an unusual and original way, in the midst of sumptuous recumbent figures and sculpted tombs.

A lost remnant from the Middle Ages stranded in the heart of the contemporary world, the Basilica of Saint-Denis is a bewildering sight. Illustration of the privileged relationship which united the Catholic Church to the French Royalty for more than ten centuries, the sumptuous necropolis of the kings of France, with more than 70 recumbents and sculpted tombs, is a holy place high in colors that will be revealed to you enthralling stories and captivating legends, such as the fulgurating predictions made to Catherine de Médicis, or the legend of the lost heir apparent, around the heart of Louis XVII exposed in the crypt.
