The Chapelle expiatoire is located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.
The chapel was constructed in 1816 and it took 10 years to finish it.
The chapel was constructed on the grounds where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette had been buried after they had been guillotined, and it is therefore dedicated to them as an expiation for that act.
