Saint-Denis (English spelling)

Japanese: サン・ドニ(英語表記)Saint‐Denis
Saint-Denis (English spelling)
An industrial city in the Seine-Saint-Denis department in northern France. A satellite city of Paris, with a population of 122,000 (1990), it developed around a monastery built on the tomb of Saint Denis (3rd century). In the Middle Ages, the monastery's church became the tomb of successive French kings, and a large periodic market called Landy was held on the field of Saint-Denis. It had long been a religious city, but with the opening of the Saint-Denis Canal in 1821 and the subsequent construction of a railway network, it grew into the largest heavy industrial area outside Paris in the mid-19th century.
