Step Back in Time at the Expiatory Chapel

Explore French history with your visit to the neoclassical architectural wonder of the Expiatory Chapel, located centrally in Paris. The chapel offers a complimentary downloadable booklet available in multiple languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, and Russian. Designed by Pierre Fontaine—the same architect behind the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel—this tranquil site brings to life stories from the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. Here you'll encounter two remarkable marble sculptures: one depicting an angel pointing towards heaven for King Louis XVI, and another showing Queen Marie-Antoinette in prayer, each capturing poignant moments from their tragic lives.

Discover the Royal Legacy and Artistic Masterpieces

Explore further by descending into the crypt where a black marble altar signifies the original resting place of the royal couple. The chapel's design combines neoclassical, High-Renaissance, and Greco-Roman elements to envelop you in history. Commissioned by Louis XVIII as an homage to his brother and sister-in-law’s reign during significant events that reshaped France, it stands as a lasting tribute. As your visit concludes, you'll carry with you a deeper appreciation for the rich historical tapestry woven into the walls of the Expiatory Chapel.
