[SUPER=03-Paris, France;]
200 years ago, child King Louis-Charles de France died in a French prison at the age of ten.
Four years ago DNA tests confirmed that this tiny heart belonged to the king, ruling out speculation that the boy had escaped the prison and produced royal heirs.
Today the pickled organ went on display at a church in Paris.
The heart will be burried tomorrow in the burial crypt of French Kings, next to the remains of his parents Louis the 16th and Marie Antoinette.
