BASILIQUE DE SAINT-DENIS: Royal Catholic Necropolis of France Near Paris

Just outside of Paris lies the Basilique Cathédrale de Saint-Denis — the royal necropolis of France, where nearly every king and queen from the X to the XVIII century is buried, including Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI. In this episode, we explore the incredible Gothic architecture, the royal tombs, and the deep history of French monarchy and revolution. We also take a close look at the XIX century Cavaillé-Coll organ, a masterpiece of innovation in sacred music history.
