Presentation

In the necropolis, you will discover the living history of France through 70 recumbent statues and tombs of French kings and queens (digital tables, touch tables, children's trails, etc.). The tour will then take you to the spire Factory. Behind the scenes of its reconstruction, which began in March 2025, you will find a new and exceptional place of discovery where you can talk to stonemasons and blacksmiths, watch an immersive film, and enjoy other activities for all ages.
