The grounds themselves are small, so you can get around quickly. The location itself is quite busy, but inside the building there is a quiet and solemn atmosphere. This was where Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI were once buried.
It's easy to book tickets, you can enter it by scanning the code at the entrance, it is very convenient to use, and you can accumulate points in exchange for discounts, which is very recommended!

Guide

  • Explore the 'Expiatoire Chapel,' constructed where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie-Antoinette were buried in 1793
  • Marvel at two sculptures, one of an angel showing the sky to the king, the other of Marie-Antoinette kneeling
  • Read Louis XVI's last letter to his sister Elisabeth at the pedestal of the statue of Marie-Antoinette
  • Discover a piece of the history of France at the neoclassical chapel

Explore a historic building that has remained a peaceful place in the otherwise energetic center of Paris — Chapelle Expiatoire! Built on the orders of Louis XVIII, the Chapelle Expiatoire (Expiatory Chapel) is dedicated to the memory of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. This is where the two were buried in 1793, after they had been guillotined on Place de la Revolution. It was designed by Pierre Fontaine, who is also the brain behind the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. With a ticket from Klook, and enter the chapel directly. Marvel at the arched arcades within the chapel hall, which commemorate the Swiss Guards that were killed at Tuileries Palace in 1792. See the two marble sculptures representing Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, before heading over to the crypt, where you'll see a black marble altar with an inscription of the place where the monarchs' remains were found. The Chapelle Expiatoire is definitely a page of French history to discover in the heart of Paris.
