THE SAINT DENIS BASILIC
(TOUR: WT20)
 Famous as a shrine to Saint Denis, the first bishop of Paris, this former abbey found its destiny linked to that of French royalty at an early period. It became the designated burial place for French sovereigns, and each new dynasty perpetuated this tradition in order to confirm its legitimacy. Napoleon I even thought to make the church an imperial burial site. The oldest tomb known is that of the wife of King Clotaire I, Queen Arégonde, who died around 565-570. Dagobert was the first king to be buried there. However, it was only from the time of Hugues Capet that all French kings were systematically buried in the church, with a few exceptions: Philippe I, who died in 1108, Louis VII, who died in 1180, and Louis XI, who died in 1483. The remains of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette were transferred there in 1816, after the fall of the First Empire.

The queens of France and children of sovereigns were also buried in this cemetery, as were several notable royal officials like Bertrand Du Guesclin. Altogether, 42 kings, 32 queens, 63 princes and princesses and 10 powerful men of the realm were buried in the church. All the tombs were violated in 1793 by Revolutionary mobs. The basilica of Saint-Denis nevertheless honours their memory by its stone tombs. In keeping with the wish of Saint Louis, the transept and the choir house 70 tombs. This unique collection in Europe is an extraordinary example of the history of funerary art from sculpted 12th century recumbent figures to 16th century Renaissance tombs like those of Louis XII and Anne de Bretagne and of Henri II and Catherine de Médicis.

INSOLITE MUSEUMS OF PARIS (private collectors houses)
Museum Jacquemart andré & Nissim de Camondo museum (tea at the museum included)
(TOUR: WT24)
 Museum Nissim de Camondo : Visit of this museum for a keen insight into the decorative arts of the 18th century. The pre-World War I town house was donated to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs by Comte Moïse de Camondo in memory of his son, Nissim, a French aviator killed in combat during World War I. The museum is like the home of an aristocrat -- rich with needlepoint chairs, tapestries (many from Beauvais or Aubusson), antiques, paintings, bas-reliefs, silver, Chinese vases, crystal chandeliers, Sèvres porcelain, Savonnerie carpets, and even a Houdon bust. The Blue Salon, overlooking Parc Monceau, is most impressive. The kitchen of the original mansion has been reopened in its original format, capable of serving hundreds of dinner guests at one time, with few alterations from its original Belle Epoque origins. Fittings and many of the cooking vessels are in brass or copper, and the walls are tiled.
We will cross the Park Monceau to reach the beautiful Museum Jacquemart andré.
Museum Jacquemart andré
This sumptuous residence, located in the plaine de Monceau, was constructed by Edouard André in 1875. Owner of the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, a famous artistic journal of the time, and director of the Central Union of the Decorative Arts, André was on of the most ardent collectors of 18th century objects, particularly paintings, sculptures and furniture. He married Nélie Jacquemart, a young, underrated painter, in 1881. She too had a passion for the collection of her husband and together they amassed many Italian Renaissance treasures. The residence itself was the ideal showcase for the stunning works. The couple left no heirs and bequeathed the collection and house to the Institut de France and therefore the French state itself, on the condition that it be turned into a public Museum for the pleasure of future lovers of classic art. Faithful to this request the museum has not changed since its opening in 1913. One can admire the stunning bathrooms of the era, as well as works by Botticelli, Ucello, and an immense fresco by Tiepolo in the dining room, open for lunch and afternoon tea.
The tour will end up with a tea included inside the beautiful Tiepolo room of the museumJacquemart andré.
