MENU: 3.1.4. The royal imprint blossoms

A CITY THAT RENDERS HOMAGE TO KINGS  

The arch at Saint-Denis gate honors Louis XIV (built in 1674)

  • Napoleon's tomb: Straight streets that lead to a sepulcher. Whose?
  • Royal places* multiply
  • At the last place, change begins
*Italics are due to their specific meaning in France.
