Which cathedral in Saint-Denis is the traditional burial place of French kings?

The Basilica of Saint-Denis is the traditional burial place of French kings.

The basilica’s royal necropolis contains the tombs of many French monarchs and members of the royal family. It includes monumental effigies as well as later Renaissance and Baroque tomb designs, creating a visual history of French royal funerary art.

The building is also central to the history of Gothic architecture. The rebuilding of its choir under Abbot Suger in the 12th century introduced structural and decorative ideas associated with the emerging Gothic style, including pointed arches, rib vaults, and extensive stained glass.

Saint-Denis is sometimes confused with Reims Cathedral, which was the traditional coronation church of French kings. Reims hosted the coronations, while Saint-Denis served as the principal royal burial church.
