The Basilique Saint-Denis is a large Gothic church in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis, near Paris. It is probably best known as the burial place of the French Kings. The presumed remains of the beheaded Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were also reburied in the Bourbon crypt in the Basilique Saint-Denis.
