The revolution claimed the lives of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, but memories of their reign and their fall can be felt inside.
While they have since been moved to the Basilica of St.
Denis, their original resting place was close to the current chapel.
Neoclassical design and a dome at the center of a Greek cross give a visually stunning atmosphere, while cenotaphs in the courtyard, devoted to all buried in the location, serve as a reminder of France's fascinating history.
