"I die innocent of all the crimes imputed to me. I pardon the authors of my death, and pray to God that the blood you are about to shed will never fall upon France." It was with those words that Louis XVI was executed on 21st January 1793. A few months later, in the same place, which is now the Place de la Concorde, his wife Marie Antoinette was also executed. The French monarchy had been brought down.
In the turbulent days of the French Revolution, the bodies of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were buried close to Rue d'Anjou. In the 19th century, their tombs were moved to the Basilica of Saint-Denis, and the Chapelle Expiatoire was built in their place.
In the chapel, you'll be able to admire two marble structures of the last monarchs of France. These portray an angel showing Louis XVI his way to heaven, a masterpiece by François Joseph Bosio, and Jean-Pierre Cortot's representation of Marie Antoinette being comforted by religion.
In the gardens, you'll also be able to take a look at the exterior of the chapel and its neo-classical dome.
