Saint-Denis is a commune in northern Paris, France. Briefly renamed Franciade during the French Revolution, it retained the name up until 1800. During the French Revolution, Franciade was a small, walled commune north of Paris. It is notable for being the final resting place of a number of France's royalty, including Marie de' Medici.

History

During the Revolution, the commune's extensive catacombs were ransacked by raiders, led by Philippe Rose, under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte. Bonaparte sought access to a fabled Temple built beneath the Basilica of Saint-Denis, in order to gain possession of the artifact stored within.

The Assassin Arno Dorian travelled to Franciade to ensure the artifact, which he discovered to be an Apple of Eden, did not fall into Bonaparte's hands.
