Built in the early 19th century, Chapelle Expiatoire is a neoclassical monument commissioned to pay tribute to the royal family following the French Revolution. Today, it is a quiet and tranquil memorial monument and necropolis located in the 8th arrondissement. The site once contained the graves of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette.

Yes and no. While a neoclassical chapel might not sound appealing to most children, Chapelle Expiatoire aims to liven things up by offering an activity book at the entrance (in French). Chapelle Expiatoire also provides a refreshing break from the bustle of Paris, and it’s a budget-friendly destination for families.
