This is a very unusual place. The view inside and outside is very different. Outwardly, it seems that this is an ordinary Gothic church, but inside there are very conflicting feelings. The names of kings and their families, which many people know from childhood from books, films or history books, are suddenly written on tombstones nearby, and standing next to their stone statues is not an everyday emotion. A touch to history, to life and death...for a long time you remain impressed by what you see. If you are into the history of France, then this place should definitely be on your list to visit. The basilica is right next to the metro station so it's easy to get there. And if you are lucky and you will be there in June, you will be able to get to the music festival, which is held there annually.
