| Marie Antoinette and Luis XVI grave |
Paris is a city that you have to see. However, it is a city that has always had too much advertising. It always attracted thieves and various cutthroats from all corners of the world and always had something of Vidocq's time. Of course it not take that city place on the list to see; culturally, cultural human must visit Paris. At the world, there are some symbols that everyone should visit. But we must also think about our own wallet.
Tourists end their tour of the churches at Notre Dame, considering it the most important church in the city; in fact, it was never the most important church. It was nothing more than a parish church. The most important church in Paris was St.Denis.
To St. Denis we'll get there by the subway. Let's not count on anyone telling us how, unless we have a good guidebook. This is a Muslim district, and even the majority of the French locals, known St Denis mostly thanks to the arena. Maybe if we ask a very old man , we get an answer.

Just after leaving the subway, we will see a cathedral called as well St. Denis. This is the most important church in Paris. The kings were crowned here; they were actually one of the most important kings. Here was crowned Charlemagne. The kings were buried here, as were Marie Antoinette and Louis XVII, after the Bourbon restaurant. Napoleon himself showed their graves. Coronations were mostly made at the Reims cathedral.
The construction of St Denis began thanks to the city's economic growth. There was one more reason. The kings wanted to emphasize royal power over the city. Paris was called the capital, but it did not have any connections with the king. The first building plans date from the time of Luis VI.Previously, there was a monastery here. St Denis is the patron saint of France. He is buried here.
This is the first bulding in France, where a typical gothic rib vault was used and the choir was created higher. This building, today in most architectural books, is considered the beginning of a free, real Gothic. Famous Gothic with churches reaching the heavens Gothic churches with amazing windows
The building from outside does not impress; Notre Dame looked really better. It's the beginning of Gothic, so we can't expect that. Inside, we will see real Gothic still with Romanesque adds.

Even when it was just a Romanesque abbey, because of St Denis grave and the Charlemagne coronation had the most important political role in the state. From the outside, the building was constructed to resemble a castle. It is also a symbol of royal power. An additional very rare surprise are the chapels on the floors. However, we still find here some fragments of construction related purely to Romanesque.
The plan at the end worked; the kings began arriving at the masses in the city, which brought them closer to the people. Paris really began to connect with the royal family. Today, it may seem insignificant. In those had huge. If the city wanted to be the capital, it had to have a royal church.Of course myth of Charlemagne helped so much to create the beginning of that story.
If anyone is interested in the beginnings of Gothic, they must visit St. Denis. If anyone really wants to know the history of the city, they must visit St Denis. If someone wants to see the tombs of one of the most powerful rulers in the world, they must visit St Denis.If someone really is interested in French history, they must visit St Denis. St Denis like Notre Dame, has a renovation problem; it becomes unnecessary. We can just hope that it won't end in the same way. Once the revolution tried to erase them from the maps, In some way, succeeded,but not many people know about St Denis. It is worth visiting this place, before it will disappear.
