France: basilica of Saint-Denis recovers its former majesty
The basilica of Saint Denis was once covered in a thick veil of grime. Now, after three years of restoration work, its façade, a masterpiece of gothic art that contains the tombs of the kings of France, has recovered its former majesty.

Marie Antoinette's Tomb | Paris, France Travel Vlog: Chapelle Expatoire, Saint Denis Basilica
I'm finally back in Paris, France and exploring historic sights following in Marie Antoinette's footsteps. I visit Chapelle Expatoire where the Queen of France was first buried in an unmarked grave before heading to Saint Denis Basilica where Marie Antoinette's tomb is current located. I also visited Lafayette, The Marais and the Pantheon. Plus: I finally got to meet the lonely Cheryl from the Non-stop Paris YouTube channel :)

La basilique Saint Denis et la flèche disparue
Jacques Moulin, architecte en chef des Monuments historiques, nous fait visiter la basilique, y compris ses parties les plus anciennes et les plus secrètes. Il évoque le projet de restituer la tour nord et sa flèche, démontées au milieu du XIXe siècle.
Cette restitution, qui sera exclusivement financée par les visiteurs, est soutenue par la mairie de Saint-Denis et une convention en bonne et due forme a été conclue avec la ministre de la Culture Françoise Nyssen le 17 mars 2018...
Basilica of Saint Denis in Paris France. Interior view, November 25, 2019.
The abbey is where the kings of France and their families were buried for centuries and is therefore often referred to as the royal necropolis of France.
All but three of the monarchs of France from the 10th century until 1789 have their remains here. Some monarchs, like Clovis I (465–511), were not originally buried at this site. The remains of Clovis I were exhumed from the despoiled Abbey of St Genevieve which he founded.
The abbey church contains some fine examples of cadaver tombs. The effigies of many of the kings and queens are on their tombs, but their bodies were removed during the French Revolution. The ancient monarchs were removed in August 1793 to celebrate the revolutionary Festival of Reunion, then the Bourbon and Valois monarchs were removed to celebrate the execution of Marie Antoinette in October 1793. The bodies were dumped into three trenches and covered with lime to destroy them.[31] Archaeologist Alexandre Lenoir saved many of the monuments by claiming them as artworks for his Museum of French Monuments. The bodies of several Plantagenet monarchs of England were likewise removed from Fontevraud Abbey during the French Revolution.
The Basilica of Saint-Denis (French: Basilique royale de Saint-Denis, or simply Basilique Saint-Denis) is a large medieval abbey church in the city of Saint-Denis, now a northern suburb of Paris.

The building is of singular importance historically and architecturally as its choir, completed in 1144, shows the first use of all of the elements of Gothic architecture.The site originated as a Gallo-Roman cemetery in late Roman times. The archeological remains still lie beneath the cathedral; the people buried there seem to have had a faith that was a mix of Christian and pre-Christian beliefs and practices.
Around 475 St. Genevieve purchased some land and built Saint-Denys de la Chapelle. In 636 on the orders of Dagobert I the relics of Saint Denis, a patron saint of France, were reinterred in the basilica. The relics of St-Denis, which had been transferred to the parish church of the town in 1795, were brought back again to the abbey in 1819.
The basilica became a place of pilgrimage and the burial place of the French Kings with nearly every king from the 10th to the 18th centuries being buried there, as well as many from previous centuries. (It was not used for the coronations of kings, that function being reserved for the Cathedral of Reims; however, French Queens were commonly crowned there.) Saint-Denis soon became the abbey church of a growing monastic complex.
In the 12th century, the Abbot Suger rebuilt portions of the abbey church using innovative structural and decorative features. In doing so, he is said to have created the first truly Gothic building. The basilica's 13th-century nave is the prototype for the Rayonnant Gothic style, and provided an architectural model for many medieval cathedrals and abbeys of northern France, Germany, England and a great many other countries.
The abbey church became a cathedral in 1966 and is the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Denis, Pascal Michel Ghislain Delannoy. Although known as the Basilica of St Denis, the cathedral has not been granted the title of Minor Basilica by the Vatican.
The 86m high spire, dismantled in the nineteenth century, will be rebuilt. The project, initiated more than thirty years ago, will begin in May 2020. It should take about eleven years and cost 28 million euros.

Basilique Saint - Denis (nécropole des rois de France)
Secrets d'Histoire - Basilique cathédrale de Saint-Denis
La basilique cathédrale de Saint-Denis est une somptueuse église gothique située au centre de la ville de Saint-Denis, en Seine-Saint-Denis, à 5 kilomètres au nord de Paris. Elle a le statut de basilique mineure et de cathédrale du diocèse de Saint-Denis, depuis 1966. Associée à l'histoire des rois de France, l'église abbatiale porte son appellation de « basilique » depuis l'époque mérovingienne. Avec plus de 70 gisants et tombeaux monumentaux, la nécropole royale de la basilique est devenue le plus important ensemble de sculptures funéraires du XIIe au XVIe siècle.

BASILIQUE SAINT DENIS PARIS.mpg
La basilique Saint-Denis est une église de style gothique située à Saint-Denis, en Seine-Saint-Denis. Fondée en tant qu'abbatiale, elle a aussi le statut de cathédrale du diocèse de Saint-Denis depuis 1966.
Elle fut la nécropole des rois de France depuis les Robertiens et Capétiens directs, même si plusieurs rois mérovingiens puis carolingiens choisirent d'y reposer.
La basilique Saint-Denis fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621. Le jardin qui l'entoure fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 19 août 1926.
Dès le Bas-Empire, un cimetière gallo-romain est attesté sur le site de Saint-Denis. Au ive siècle, un mausolée fut élevé à l'emplacement du maître-autel actuel et fit déjà l'objet d'un culte. Puis, vers 4752, sainte Geneviève acheta les terres alentours et fit construire une église pour y abriter la sépulture de saint Denis, premier évêque de Paris martyrisé au iiie siècle.
Cette église est devenue une nécropole royale dès les origines de la royauté française puisque la reine Arégonde, bru de Clovis Ier, y repose. Dagobert fut le premier roi à se faire inhumer en ce lieu ;son gisant est placé dans le chœur central et c'est le seul à être positionné sur le côté et regardant en direction des reliques de saint Denis.
La Nécropole royale de Saint-Denis, abrite les tombes de nombreux souverains francs et français, depuis Dagobert Ier jusqu'à Louis XVIII. Cette nécropole se trouve dans la basilique de Saint-Denis. Mais si quelques rois mérovingiens puis carolingiens y établirent leur dernier séjour, c'est avec les Robertiens et les Capétiens, que la nécropole royale installée dans l'église de Saint-Denis acquiert son statut défintif de lieu de rassemblement des sépultures royales. Ainsi, les rois capétiens, à l'exception de Philippe Ier, de Louis VII et Louis XI y reposèrent tous.
Progressivement, la nécropole reçut les sépultures, non seulement des rois et reines, mais aussi des membres de la famille royale, ainsi que de grands serviteurs du royaume que les rois voulaient honorer en les autorisant à reposer auprès d'eux.
Actuellement, la basilique est divisé en trois espaces, dont les deux premiers sont ouverts au public :
la nef et les bas-côtés qui servent toujours la fonction d'église, et où ont lieu les cérémonies catholiques ;
le transept, le chœur et le déambulatoire, ainsi que la crypte, accueillent un musée où sont exposés les tombeaux des rois et reines de France, ainsi que de plusieurs de leurs serviteurs. Le musée est fermé pendant les cérémonies religieuses. On y remarque surtout les mausolées de Louis XII, d'Anne de Bretagne, de François Ier et de Henri II.
le dépôt lapidaire de la basilique regroupe dans l'ancienne orangerie et dans le jardin se trouvant à l'est du chevet de nombreuses pièces qui pourraient être mises en valeur dans le cadre d'un espace d'exposition. Le contenu du dépôt lapidaire pourrait constituer le noyau de la constitution d'un musée de l'abbaye et centre d'interprétation semblables à ceux existant à l'abbaye de Westminster.
