Basilique cathédrale de Saint-Denis
The Basilica of Saint-Denis is the Gothic royal necropolis in the commune of Saint-Denis, just north of the city of Paris.
The Basilique cathédrale de Saint-Denis stands in the commune of Saint-Denis in Seine-Saint-Denis, just north of the city of Paris, and is not in Paris itself. The Centre des monuments nationaux, which operates it, presents it as a necropolis for French royalty with tombs and recumbent figures of kings and queens, and describes the Fabrique de la Flèche, the spire factory linked to the reconstruction of the tower and north spire. It remains a church used for worship. This record repeats no opening hours or prices; check the operator before you travel.
