What is Chapelle royale de Dreux?
{{no sources|date=August 2014}} [[File:Dreux chapelle royale.jpg|thumb|200px|View of the Royal Chapel.]] The '''Royal Chapel of Dreux''' ({{lang-fr|Chapelle royale de Dreux}}) is the traditional resting place for members of the royal [[House of Orléans]]. It is located in the town of [[Dreux]] in [[France]]. The land on which the chapel was built on was owned by the [[Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon|Duke of Penthièvre]], whose daughter [[Louise Marie Adélaïde de Bourbon|Marie Adélaïde]] married the [[Duke of Orléans]] in 1769. Following the death of the Duke of Penthièvre his daughter inherited a majority of his vast estates including the land of Dreux. The Orléans family later used the chapel there as their own personal burial place following the reign of [[Louis Philippe I]].
