Step inside the birthplace of Gothic architecture, where Abbot Suger's revolutionary vision of divine light first took form in soaring pointed arches and luminous stained glass. The Basilica Cathedral of Saint-Denis shelters the royal necropolis of France, with over 70 monumental tombs spanning ten centuries of monarchy — from Clovis I to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Don't miss the striking Renaissance tomb of Louis XII, which depicts the king and queen both in prayer and as unflinching cadavers below. The nave is free to enter, but a ticket is required for the necropolis; on Mondays the Fabrique de la Flèche exhibition is closed, so plan your visit Tuesday through Sunday for the full experience.
