Sainte-Chapelle

Probably one of the most beautiful place to visit in Paris. Walking up the stairs and then getting into the Chapel is just breathtaking. The colours of the windows are beautiful and relates the story from Genesis to the Apocalypse. With the Paris pass, you get free entry but you will have to pay a fee to get the audio guide. We were the last entry which meant that we got to have the chapel for ourselves as they were closing it down.

We almost didn’t include during our visit but so glad we did! Stunning church with amazing history. Hard to believe just how old this church is. It was originally built to hold a portion of the crown of thorns. Just spectacular!!

For anyone with a Paris Museum Pass, be sure to book a time slot and visit this famed chapel. For those without a Museum Pass, you still should visit it if you are travelling into Paris. Words do not do justice to how awestruck we were upon entering the second floor (be sure to find the spiral staircase from the first floor without missing it) to see the main chapel decorated in the most beautiful work of stained glass art we will ever see. The entire visit and lineup will not take long so be sure to find 30min to an hour of your day to visit this masterpiece.

Beautiful tourist spot and a must-see. This was one of my favorite spots as a first time tourist. It felt like a nicer experience compared to a place like the Louvre because it wasn't as hectic or crazy. There were some people but not too many, and it was quiet inside the actual stained glass area.

Must see church! Beautiful original decor, gorgeous stained glass windows, lots of history. It was one of the first buildings in Paris. Printed pamphlets are in all languages and tell you a lot about parisian history. We bought timed combo ticket for Conciergerie and St.Chapelle.
Highly recommend.

Small but exquisite chapel with the most amazing stained glass windows. Make sure to book at time slot in advance, avoid the weekend, go early in the day, the chapel is small so 30 minutes is all you need once you are in. It’s just one block from notre dame, easy to find with google maps but few signs. A great brief experiment as part of a walking tour of Paris. Great gift shop.

The church features more than 1000 picture images on its windows dating back to the 13th century.....just incredible! Make a reservation for your visit, in off-season possible just one day before your visit. There is a limited number of chairs within the chapel in order to enjoy the windows.

Arrived 30 minutes early for the 9:00am booking. Saw long line up for those without advanced booking. Once inside need to be patient to get the best photo spot as everyone wants to take their pictures.

Beautiful church.
Line ups can't be a little much if you have mobility issues, we bought timed tickets in advance and had to like up 45min as well.
Inside was gorgeous

Waited about 30 minutes to get in…that’s with advanced tickets and being there just a few minutes before they opened. Long lines, particularly for those who were trying to buy tickets on site. Well worth a visit, and suggest combo ticket option with the Concergerie. Together learned a lot about French Revolution, and the early ideals of equal/fair treatment of one’s citizenry. Spectacular stained windows and setting, and interesting lower chapel history. Definitely recommend the audio tour at the chapel.

Beautiful!!! But but your ticket in advance! We didn’t and waited over an hour to go in. But so worth it! They have these cool plastic boards you could grab and carry around that explained each section of glass and the history of the chapel.

Interesting and beautiful chapel that still remains intimate. Inside you can still experience the sanctity of the space. We had a Christmas concert on Christmas Eve here and the acoustics were excellent.

Security screening before entry so make sure you make time if you’re going for an event.

Absolutely beautiful chapel. It's not big at all, but it's a gorgeous jewel just a block from Notre-Dame.

Buy your tickets in advance and book a time slot. It will ease your visit by 1000%

It is a must to attend to a concert in this exquisite and painstakingly ornated chapel with wonderful acoustics. We attended to Vivaldi four seasons concert and we killed two birds with one stone by enjoying the beauty of this building.

A fantastic example of historic and breathtaking architecture. A must see when in Paris. Arrive or book early! This will always be busy. Didn't have to wait long, very friendly front of house and when going though airport style bag scanning. Br prepared to have a lot of people in your photos if you don't aim high! Reach for the stars and all will turn out well! Good luck!

Breathtaking! First the low chapel and it is already beautiful but when you go up to the higher chapel, the first thing you see is the blue of the ceiling.. starry night

The upper chapel is stunning with the stained glass and hanging lights. But don't miss looking at the main floor level as well, it is also beautiful. This site should be on your must see list for Paris.

A Paris must see. I highly recommend to book it in 1 week+ in advance. The queue for the not booked was long and some of them weren’t able to get in.

This church, now an UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built by a French king to house the crown of thorns and pieces of the true cross - they spared no expense. The accessible portions of this site consist of a lower worship area and an upper area. For both of these I recommend the audio guide at least - there is symbolism everywhere and meaning in everything. You will miss it otherwise. The two areas are connected by a windy staircase that was made in the middle ages. When you enter the upper area it’s just an explosion of color that has to be experienced. Today we can but marvel at the craftsmanship of this world treasure. Truly amazing.

It is a breathing Ghotic chapel!
I would definitely advise visiting it.
You would be surprised by the glasswork.
There are 1113 Windows sections telling a story of the world from the Old Testament to the New Testament, and the Apocalypse is located in the rose window.
If you have a Paris city card be careful as you will maybe require a timeslot for your visit depending on how busy they are.
