PRO'S: Sainte-Chapelle, the private chapel in the old royal palace on the isle of Paris has a magnificent display of stained glass windows. The windows dominate the chapel's surrounding walls in a manner that is not possible in a large cathedral. Be sure and rent the audio headphones to get the full explanation. CON'S: Arrive by Metro or cab and buy tickets in advance to avoid an hour plus wait for admission. SUMMARY: More intimate than cathedrals, we return often to be overwhelmed by the stained glass beauty and majesty.

Utterly breathtaking chapel, a masterpiece of Medieval French architecture. The high ornate ceiling and fifteen stained glass windows transport you to a different reality where time stops and you just bathe in the light and history oozing from every window pane. 100% recommend to visit, it is well worth the queue.

You need reservations. Be sure to go before sunset to see the windows in their glory. If possible, bring binoculars! It's a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. After decades of restoration, the stained glass glows like never before.

Incredible! The wait is very long if you have not made a reservation in advance. We waited 3 hours.... but it was worth it! Take your time, read the info, rent the audio aid, and bask in amazement. The enrichment of the story will enhance the views. You'll appreciate the details of the architecture, inside and outside. Don't miss it!

Located in Paris Law Courthouse, 10 Bd du Palais, 75001 Paris, France 🇫🇷. Definitely recommend booking your ticket online, if you go without, you might not get entry. For a guided tour - Adult 20.50€ Under 18 years FREE admission To explore yourself - Adult 13.00 € Under 18 years FREE admission People with disabilities FREE admission 18-25 years FREE admission (European Union) There are audio guides available if you want them. It's a timed ticket , but you will have to wait in the correct line for the time stamped tickets based on the time you purchased for. Don't get confused and wait in the extra long line for people who have not purchased tickets. There's a gift shop inside if you want to purchase souvenirs. The glass windows are breathtaking. The craftsmanship that went into this is unbelievable. I could have sat looking at it for hours. The winding turret staircase is stunning but be careful as you climb. We weren't there for long but it was definitely worth the visit. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs Up!!! 👍👍👍
