- A visit on August 5, 2016 to the Basilique cathédrale de Saint-Denis, the burial location of 1500 years of French royalty - including the final resting place of the remains of King Louis XVi and Marie Antoinette.
I went to Saint Denis in 2001and it was wonderful. The inside of the church is beautiful and the royal tombs are what make it most memorable. To see all the different styles and how they evolved over time. Yes, the bodies are no longer in the tombs thanks to the Revolution, but the artistry of the tombs are fascinating. I highly recommend this especially since it not usually crowded like so many of the other sites in Paris. Well worth the time.
As someone who will never get the opportunity to travel and see this firsthand... I thank you for making this video!
Learn your history dude
Loved the video. Couldn't believe my luck when I saw the plaque for Francois II. I've been researching him and his wife Mary Queen of Sots for the last few weeks. Was awesome to see the late King of France and King Consort of Scotland's plaque. Thanks for the tour.
I read that Napoleon ordered that the desecrated abbey be restored & the scattered monuments, tomb art and royal remains retrieved and placed back. No surviving St. Denis without Napoleon's decree.
Fantastic I just saw his parents as well!! Henri II and Catherine De Medici. AWESOME!!!!!
The greatest king of all , Louis XI is buried at Clery's church.
I was thrilled to see Henri II and Catherine de Medici, also Francois I and Henri III. I was looking for Louis XIV.....
They should do forensic facial reconstructions of all french kings and queens (3 D-scan)
I very much enjoyed that thanks for sharing. Given the state of the World I fear I may never actually get to see this (and many other sites). I’d heard that about the Revolution & what they did. Yikes. But in their world at THAT time, when the nobility are constructing massive chateaus or palaces,laden with gold and marble, some only visited once a year it shouldn’t have been a surprise people said enough is enough. While the majority of the population could barely afford bread...aka cake. So I was surprised to see such significant monuments to Louis & Marie Antoinette.
I wish France was a Kingdom today. A Monchary.
This is the place where the royal dynasties of the largest and most fabulous monarchy of European history lie.
Thank you for posting this video of your visit to this cathedral. I appreciate your narrative at the beginning giving the viewer the opportunity to explore with you. I hope to one day visit :)
Welcome and good to see you in the video, watching until the end, this content is informative, a huge building church is amazing.
Thank you for this, outstanding job sir. I thought you did a very nice job on this video. It is one of my favorite churches and it is hard to find nice work like this.
