In November 1846, during the July Monarchy, abbé Haumet, parish priest of Sainte-Marguerite, planned building work on the church and checked its foundations, finding several burials, including the remains of an anthropomorphic lead coffin containing bones. The skull from among these bones was identified as Louis XVII. Re-exhumed in 1894, they were identified as those of a teenager aged between 14 and 18 or possibly older, whereas Louis died aged only 10.
