The Basilica Cathedral of Saint-Denis, the burial place for the kings of France as early as the 6th century, is a magnificent architectural structure that has great historical significance and typifies the beauty of Paris' many churches. A visit does take one back in history and provides a sense of peace and tranquility. Truly a must visit for those who appreciate fine architecture, French history, and the beauty of Paris churches.

Easily accessed from central Paris by the #13 Metro, this market is a block from the beautiful and historic cathedral and makes for a truly memorable and non-touristy Sunday few hours. The stands close early afternoon. Busy crowds of mostly North African families doing their weekly shopping. Great values, many butchers, vegetable stands, cheesemongers, fishmongers, spices. Outside the covered market are the usual arrays of cheap household goods and clothing, as well as brick and mortar specialty shops (where else can you see an entire wall of 10 different varieties of couscous, plus the cookware to make it properly, Moroccan tea sets, tagines etc). Don't be deterred by xenophobic "safety" warnings - its crowded and you should not have your wallet hanging out, duh.
