Overview

The Saint-Remi basilica is a jewel of French history and its architecture makes it a marvel to admire.
Already imposing from the outside, it’s once past its doors that the magic happens. And that’s saying something. As proof, the Japanese painter Foujita was so touched by her beauty that he converted to Catholicism.
During the visit, with your guide, you will discover its history and its link with the baptism of Clovis and the coronation of the kings of France, and will be able to understand how the monument, which sublimely combines Gothic and Baroque architecture, has evolved since the 11th century.
