Basiliek-Kathedraal van Saint-Denis : Deïverzekering

In 1144, abt Suger gave birth to the Gothic style by completing this unique architectural jewel in the world. Under its vaults bathed in celestial light, rests the memory of France: forty-three kings, thirty-two queens and servants of the crown found their last resting place there. From the tragic elegance of Marie Antoinette to the seventy monumental tombs of the Renaissance, each stone effigy tells an epic. The route traverses the majestic nave to delve into the silence of the crypts, witnesses to fourteen centuries of history. Detailed brochures in twelve languages, from Japanese to Polish, facilitate the understanding of this colossal heritage. Admiring these monumental sculptures is to meet the faces of those who shaped the country in a setting where artistic innovation and the sacred are one and the same.
