She is said to be buried in the necropolis of French Kings at St. Denis Basilica (a big and beautiful cathedral in Paris) along with her husband Louis XVI of France. This is the cathedral were all French Kings and their family used to be buried. Though, during the French Revolution an angry mob trashed the cathedral actually opening the graves and throwing the deceased out of their graves. It was restored though, but it was never quite certain of course if the correct body parts had been put back in their righteous coffins...
When Marie Antoinette was beheaded, her body was thrown in an unmarked grave in the former La Madeleine cemetery (closed the following year). Both her body and that of Louis XVI were exhumed on 18 January 1815, during the Bourbon Restoration, when the comte de Provence had become King Louis XVIII. Proper Christian burial of the royal remains took place three days later, on 21 January.
At least, so it is said. In those days there wasn't something called DNA-testing and Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI had been thrown into a mass grave. During the digging in that grave, a witness says he recognized an upperleg-bone with a suspender on it and said it was definitely Marie Antoinette's. The body of Louis XVI was recognized by the shape of the skull. These remains are now buried at the St Denis. Thus, it is highly unlikely that it is actually Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI that are buried there. It is much more probable that they are still somewhere underground
