"One of the finest royal chapels built in France, The Holy Chapel has a truly remarkable collection of stained glass. It was built by Louis IX in the mid-13th century on the Palais de la Cité to house the relics of Christ's Passion. Adorned with a unique collection of 15 glass panels and rose windows that form a veritable wall of light, the Sainte-Chapelle is a jewel of Gothic architecture.

"It is a Gothic style church built by order of King Louis IX, to house the relics of Christ, composed of the Crown of Thorns and a piece of the Holy Cross. Even if it cannot be compared to Notre Dame, the Sainte Chapelle is one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture with extraordinary stained glass windows, which undoubtedly do not leave indifferent. 👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Notre Dame (500m,6min).

"Absolutely beautiful! One of my favorite churches we've seen around the world. The stained glass is just unreal. I highly recommend booking the very first time slot of the day and getting there a little bit early. We were some of the first people in, and it made everything so smooth and easy. We did the combined ticket so we were able to see the Conciergerie as well and it was well worth it. We really enjoyed this experience. I included a link here if you want a guided tour."
