Saint-Denis Basilica Cathedral Ticket

Saint-Denis Basilica:
The resting place of French Kings

Travel north from central Paris to visit the Saint-Denis Basilica, a historically significant site for the French monarchy. Originally an abbey church built over the tomb of Saint Denis, it has long served as the royal necropolis. Inside the cathedral, you'll find the tombs of French kings, queens, and other royal figures. It offers a unique way to trace the long history of the French monarchy, distinct from the grandeur of palaces.


Discover 70 Tombs and Gothic Architecture

As you explore the cathedral, admire the funerary sculptures created from the 12th to the 16th centuries. With around 70 sculpted tombs, you can observe and compare the royal funeral art and sculptural styles that evolved over different eras.

The architecture itself is a highlight. Experience the characteristics and beauty of Gothic architecture firsthand by observing the soaring spaces, stained glass, and the structure's ingenious use of light.


Visit La Fabrique de la Flèche Too

With your integrated ticket, explore not only the royal necropolis but also La Fabrique de la Flèche. This is a special space dedicated to the project of recreating the historic spire of the Saint-Denis Basilica Cathedral.

After appreciating the cathedral's past, witness the process of the spire's reconstruction, enriching your experience of the Saint-Denis Basilica's ongoing story.
