Encounter with Henri IV

Saint-Denis. The story says that when they opened Henri IV's coffin, he was still well preserved and easy to recognize. They exposed him for a few days in Saint-Denis basilica before disposing of the body. I guess that's what this setting in the basilica is trying to remind us. Alexandre Dumas wrote a short story about the vengeful ghost of Henri IV in Saint-Denis.
