What a wonderful church! How nice the guided tour, the model explaining the life of the abbey and the village, the explanatory screens, that wonderful crypt.... A great French history lesson!
historical atmosphere, great audio guide
Unfortunately, the visit to the Basilica did not take place because of the early hourly closure that was not indicated either in the reminder email,sent on May 3, or on site near the site. Access to the Basilica was barred by staff and tickets were not validated. Unfortunately, it was not possible to postpone the visit to the next day since the departure from Paris was scheduled for the evening of May 4. Truly disappointing!!!
It's an important heritage site, but it's not promoted in any way: dull lighting, explanations that are sometimes difficult to read, impersonal, open spaces that don't invite you to visit... A welcome that leaves something to be desired.
Everything was magnificent, except for the welcome at the entrance and checkouts ... Too bad, fortunately the wonders comforted us.
interesting and instructive visit. Fabulous Cathedral Basilica. I recommend the tour with a guide. We arrived too late Any ideas for your site to offer tours with a guide? Kind regards

What a wonderful church! How nice the guided tour, the model explaining the life of the abbey and the village, the explanatory screens, that wonderful crypt.... A great French history lesson!
Great guide, interesting information, visits to areas of the stadium not usually accessible to visitors during an event.
Great tour!!! The guide was perfect
Our 5 year old son loved the changing rooms with the jerseys. For us . to see the life behind the scenes that we don't see on screen during broadcasts. Backstage.....
The guide was good and thorough, explained well and added some anecdotes and trivia about the stadium. Although the tour had been in French and not Italian, I was able to understand quite a few things. The children were very satisfied. Unfortunately, there was no turf because a concert had taken place the day before and other concerts were scheduled for the following days. This mishap should have been pointed out at the time of booking.
Too bad we never received our tickets. We had to ask at the SDF reception desk to get access. A real shame
An interesting tour, very well animated by our guide who made it fun, especially for the kids. A great time!
Technical explanations of the stadium's structures, the societal organization of this great "community" and the many anecdotes told. A complete panorama, well beyond the inevitably moving soccer life of course! 1998 is unforgettable! Bravo
The good organization and fun way the tour is conducted is special. Stepping into the stadium from the catacomb as a team of soccer players with cheering supporters from the empty stands :p gave goosebumps. Stade de France is not just a soccer stadium, it is much more than that where also many events take place. Incredibly clever how it all works. My grandson and I enjoyed it very much and a big thumbs up for our guide.
Great presentation of the Stade de France by a very pleasant and professional guide, bravo and thank you. Our grandson was delighted and even us, who are not particularly soccer fans, really appreciated it.
The friendliness of our guide and the other guides, who made the visit even better (by forming a guard of honour as our "team" left the changing room). It's just a pity that there are no FFR, FFF or other personalities left. The guided tour and the museum film complement each other very well. Enjoy your visit
Last year, the youngsters could play soccer on the small pitch specially laid out for the purpose. This year it was closed. A shame for 15-17 year-olds
Possibility to go onto the lawn. Very good guide.
historical atmosphere, great audio guide
Everything. Good guide... Schedules respected. Pleasant.

You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.
Recommend if you're on a budget or want to save money. With this Pass, the Entrance to Versailles gardens isn't included. Staff, where you pick up vouchers (in Lafayette), is perfect.
I recomment purchasing turbo pass - because of the price (try adding all the tickets and you'll get it), and for not having to stay in queue at the entrance. Great ! I' ve visited many in 4 days, still remained some unvisited.
The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.
I've seen the prices locally, the pass saves a lot of money if you use it.
We had it for the maximum period of 6 days because we were in Paris for a week. You don't save a ton of money, but just booking the time slots makes things a lot easier when you get there. The week was planned out in advance, but there's no other way if you want to see/experience something. Queuing up on site is usually pointless because it's very busy in July and August. We always had two activities a day, except for Versailles. You need a whole day for that. Everything worked out great...but you should definitely book a time slot wherever possible. The times were always kept to and we got everywhere on time. I would do it again anytime.
Description is correct. Everything was very uncomplicated and gave us the opportunity to plan very flexibly, as the weather was mixed. The offer and the possibilities cover many needs to get to know Paris. It is a significant financial distribution.
The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
You could book everything in advance in a relaxed manner, then you didn't have to queue or wait anywhere. Was super easy and we would book it again and again. The guided tour in Montmartre was particularly good.
The turbo pass was really great! Everything worked out perfectly, you could reserve a lot in advance, so that you could make a good plan for visiting the city yourself. The guided tour was also great and very interesting, very nice guide!
Thanks to the Turbopass, we found our way around Paris very well, everything worked out wonderfully! There were a few minor irritations at the checkout because not everyone was familiar with the pass, but mostly everything worked smoothly. Thank you very much for the good price, the great selection and the great combination!
I found out about Turbo pass while researching visiting attractions in Paris. It seemed as a good choice as we stayed there for a week and wanted to see as much as we could. Me and my partner made an order 3 days pass + free 4 days museum pass and it was an excellent choice. It is very easy to navigate and everything was written on the pass how to use it for each attraction.Unfortunately, 7 days in Paris were not enough to see everything that is meant with this pass but we managed to see so much. I especially loved Museum pass as you don't have to wait in a line. It saves time and energy. With well planned visits, you can see so much. I would recommend to check in advance where you have to book a ticket in advance for your visit as it can happen they don't have free time slots during your stay. However, it's well spent money and definitely payed off. We saved a lot of money and time
Everything worked fine. It was my first time in Paris. You have to plan everything carefully if you want to achieve a lot. Also, don't forget to book early tickets with the entry time slot on the websites. I had Turbopass for 2 days. I've been to Saint Chapelle, Museum de Cluny, Pantheon, Museum d'Orsay, Versailles, Arc de Triumph, Boat trip, Invalides, Guided tour of Montmartre and VR Paris View Fly360 (the only thing I wouldn't recommend). I didn't make it to the Louvre, you have to plan almost the whole day for that. I didn't save an enormous amount, but a lot (30-40 euros). I had no problems with the ticket. You just have to take into account that the buses don't come on time, so it's better to use the metro.
We received the documents within a very short time. The information was good and helped us a lot when planning our stay. We particularly enjoyed the guided tour through Montmartre. It was very informative and entertaining. We can highly recommend the guided walk.
Buying the Turbopass was a great thing. We bought it for Paris with 6 people. Lots of great booking options and very varied. And you save a lot of money compared to individual bookings. It was inconvenient that you always had to laboriously type in the people's numbers somewhere when booking, then replace the temporary QR codes with the correct ones on site (which led to quite a wait when there were long queues on site). An app that contains all the tickets would also be good, instead of emails for each booking. It was also not clear that the hop-on hop-off bus is only available for 24 hours after redemption and not for the duration of the booking. In our case it was 5 days. It would also be a good idea to be able to book public transport tickets at the same time, at a discount. Because you almost always need these in big cities. All in all, the purchase was well worth it.
Best thing we did is get the Turbo Pass for Paris. Wish we had more time. Hop on Hop off is a great way to see what is to offer in the city. Museum pass gives you access to most of the museums in Paris area. Get it and you won’t regret it.
The metro ticket was awesome, it got us everywhere quickly and cheaply. We really liked the Generali balloon and it didn't cost anything with the pass. We would take the pass again and again.
The Paris Pass was a good investment, definitely worth buying.
The turbopass allows you to visit Paris without stress. It is easy to use. Highly recommended.
Thanks to the Paris City Pass, we were able to have a great time in Paris.
A great-value pass covering Paris’ top experiences—ideal if you're skipping the Eiffel Tower.

Much before goth core was a thing and Frankenstein became the official ambassador of everything Gothic, the Basilica of Saint Denis was constructed with its delicate tracery of the rose window and the majestic flying buttresses! As a pilgrimage site and the final resting place for French monarchs, the cathedral has played a pivotal role in French history and culture. Its soaring spires, stained glass windows, and biblical sculptures offer a glimpse into the grandeur and devotion of the Middle Ages.
Read on to know everything about the Basilica Cathedral of Saint Denis, its ticket options, how to plan your visit and more!
The Basilica of Saint Denis is the birthplace of Gothic architecture, the ancestor to others like Notre Dame, Westminster Abbey and Duomo di Milano. Under the direction of Abbot Suger, reconstruction began in the 12th century, as he aimed to create a space that embodied divine light and elevated spirituality, leading to architectural elements such as pointed arches, rib vaults, and flying buttresses.
Think of the Basilica of Saint Denis as a royal mausoleum, but with way more history. Serving as the final resting place for French monarchs from Clovis, the first king of the Franks, to Louis XVI, it houses the tombs of over 70 kings and queens, making it a significant site for understanding the lineage and history of French royalty!
Want a slice of art all the while walking in a spiritual haven? The basilica is exactly where you will experience a meditative ambience, surrounded by creative treasures, like stunning stained-glass windows, intricate carvings, and exquisite sculptures– it’s a place of worship and reflection, regardless of your religious beliefs.
No, the ticket allows for a single entry.
A standard ticket generally includes access to the main areas of the Basilica, including the crypt, the royal tombs, and the cathedral.
Free entry is available every first Sunday from November to March, and during European Heritage Days on the third weekend of September.
