Basilica St Denis
Where the kings of France are buried. The area itself is a bit sketchy (but interesting). They have the kings of France clear back to Clovis 1 from 500 AD. I really don't know how they could verify that but they said it's true so it must be. The story of why the kings are buried in St Denis instead of Paris is an interesting one outlined on some panels in the crypt downstairs.
Tourist note: you can buy your tickets to the Louvre online at Ticketmaster.com and pick them up at the Tourist Information across the street from the Basilica.
