The majority of French King and Queen's remains were buried at Saint Denis outside Paris,whilst their hearts and entrails were buried at another Abbey or Church with a separate monument.
Example : Heart Monument of Henri II of France,commissioned in 1561 by his widow,Queen-Regent of France Catherine de Médicis.It was originally housed at the now destroyed l'église des Célestins de Paris.

Lost Royal Tombs
Quite a lot of French Royal Tombs were destroyed & lost forever following the French Revolution,many of the churches too have been demolished .Whilst St Denis Abbey was reserved for Monarchs,consorts and their children/spouses many churches in Paris were used as burial sites for the cadet branches of the French Royal Family & contained many Princely & Royal Tombs.
List of lost churches
The Dominican Couvent des Jacobins de la rue Saint-Honoré
The Dominican Couvent des Jacobins de la rue Saint-Jacques
The Couvent des Célestins de Paris.
