About

A Gothic jewel box on the Île de la Cité. Built in 1248 by King Louis IX, Sainte-Chapelle contains 1,113 stained glass panels telling the story of the Bible in extraordinary colour. When sunlight floods the upper chapel, it is among the most transcendent architectural experiences in France.

The stained glass is universally described as jaw-dropping — no photo does it justice. The upper chapel in morning light is considered one of the most beautiful interiors in the world. Book in advance to avoid long queues at security.

Nothing prepares you for the upper chapel. The glass is overwhelming in the best possible way.

The most beautiful interior I have ever seen. Go on a sunny morning for the full effect.

Tiny but absolutely breathtaking. One of the true wonders of Paris — don't miss it.
