According to Saint Gregory of Tours, Saint Denis, the bishop of Paris, was sent to France by the Pope and martyred at a spot that was later named for him, Saint-Denis, near Paris. The Abbey of Saint-Denis became the burial place of the French kings. Dela Salle opened a school in Saint-Denis in 1708; a community of Brothers is still there today. (MTR) Music from SoundCloud.com.
