Book the Chapelle Expiatoire, a moving and intimate place in the heart of Paris

A neo-classical jewel dedicated to the royal memory

This is one of the most moving addresses in Paris. A place where memory and serenity meet. Hidden in the 8th arrondissement, the Chapelle expiatoire stands on the site where Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette were buried in 1793, before being transferred to the Saint-Denis basilica.

Its construction was decided in 1815 by Louis XVIII, brother of Louis XVI. He entrusted its realization to Pierre Fontaine, architect of all regimes, from the Consulate to the Second Empire. He conceived the place as an oasis of calm and silence in the heart of Paris. His numerous references to Antiquity and the Renaissance, in a very romantic atmosphere, would later make Chateaubriand say that the "chapel is perhaps the most remarkable monument in Paris".

Classified as a historical monument, the Chapelle Expiatoire welcomes your professional events out of sight.

An oasis of calm and silence in Paris

Strategically located in the heart of Paris, the Chapelle expiatoire allows the realization of light events in a very intimate setting.

Book The Chapelle Expiatoire is a confidential and serene place in the heart of the city. The Chapel offers a unique setting for concerts, award ceremonies, or conferences. While the charming adjoining garden is a true haven of peace: the ideal place for business cocktails or filming.

And to live an exceptional moment, offer your guests a private tour for a historical discovery of venues.

Nice and short little spot to learn a bit about the history of the revolution period and after, though hopefully you speak French, as a large portion of the signs at the end are only in French. There is a nice park right next to it with a water fountain!

It's an interesting and solemn site of where many royalists died. Its also interesting how it writes and frames things focusing on the supposed tragedy with the events also being the basis of modern french identity. Price is low and it's worth a look to complete a look into the revolutions; a fine hidden gem if you can withstand some monarchist leaning notes and visitors.

Can't express how much I love this place. It's totally beyond expectations! Petite indeed but tranquil and offering a sense of serenity. And I actually like the story of Marie-Thérèse Charlotte. Bringing a book or a sandwich and sitting in the surrounding park on a sunny afternoon is highly recommended. Oh, the staff are just kind and polite. I really did have a wonderful visit!

I read some of the comments on Google Maps that criticised the money paid for the little there seemingly is to see. Well, some of the reviewers weren't clearly paying attention. This is a place for contemplation and a place full of significance for a period of the history of France and Europe when enlightened monarchs saw their authority questioned and died at the guillotine. The importance of the place is further added by the fact that only in the early 20th century did the authorities finally put aside the idea of having it demolished. The architecture, the symbolism, are both beautiful.
