The tomb of Saint Remigius who baptized Clovis I, the first king of the Franks, inside the Basilica of Saint-Remi in Reims (Marne), France
The Basilica of Saint-Remi (French: Basilique Saint-Remi) is a medieval abbey church in Reims, France. It was founded in the 11th century "over the chapel of St. Christophe where St. Remi was buried." It is "the largest Romanesque church in northern France, though with later additions." The church has been a monument historique since 1840, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991 as a part of Cathedral of Notre-Dame, former Abbey of Saint-Remi and Palace of Tau.
