Introducing St-Denis

Show mapClose map

For 1200 years St-Denis was the burial place of French royalty; today it is a quiet suburb just north of Paris’ 18e arrondissement. The ornate royal tombs, adorned with some truly remarkable statuary, and Basilique de St-Denis that contains them (the world’s first major Gothic structure), are worth a visit. St-Denis can also boast the Stade de France, the futuristic stadium just south of Canal de St-Denis.
