Saint-Denis

Saint-Denis is a city immediately north of Paris in the department Seine-Saint-Denis.

background

Saint-Denis has a rich cultural tradition. The city was a place of pilgrimage as early as the 5th century. In the 7th century the abbey church was built, the symbol of the city of Saint-Denis, a valuable testimony to the history of architecture. The market halls, which are over 100 years old, are also worth seeing and form a harmonious ensemble with contemporary architecture. The art history museum documents the history of the place, which verifiably goes back to the third century. Due to the richness of the past and the cultural dynamism, Saint-Denis with its 100,000 inhabitants remains "the city of dead kings and living people".
