La dernière demeure des rois et reines de France. Construite sur la tombe de saint Denis, évêque missionnaire mort vers 250, l’abbaye royale de Saint-Denis accueille dès la mort du roi Dagobert en 639 et jusqu’au XIXe siècle, les sépultures de 43 rois, 32 reines et 10 serviteurs de la monarchie. En 1966, la basilique est élevée au rang de cathédrale.
