How about an Easter egg hunt inside a historic monument? It's a fun and unique activity that the whole family will enjoy this Easter Monday. If you're interested, head over to the Basilica of Saint-Denis on April 6, 2026. The event offers special tours and workshops designed for children and their parents. The city’s iconic monument will welcome you at 2 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. for an afternoon full of surprises!
This seasonal activity offers a perfect chance to rediscover the stunning basilica, the final resting place of France’s kings and queens. During the visit, everyone will learn more about this heritage: its history, unique features, and the eminent figures interred here. All of this is brought to life through an engaging, playful experience and an egg hunt hidden within the corners of this truly exceptional religious monument.
Did you know that it was once customary to give painted and decorated eggs, especially during royal celebrations? Instead of chocolates, these eggs were crafted from porcelain, wood, glass, or gold, often adorned with gemstones or carved as true works of art! During a workshop, children will decorate an object of their choosing to experience a tradition from the past, before heading out on a garden hunt, with a surprise waiting for those who manage to find all the hidden eggs!
It's time for this historic egg hunt in Seine-Saint-Denis!
