Sainte-Chapelle

A chapel made almost entirely of 13th-century stained glass.

Climb the narrow staircase to the upper chapel and the walls disappear into stained glass. It sits inside the Palais de Justice, on the Île de la Cité, a few minutes from Notre-Dame.

Good to know

  • Go on a sunny day, ideally in the morning, when the light through the glass is at its best.
  • Expect a security check at the entrance, as the building is shared with the courts.
  • Combined tickets with the Conciergerie next door are good value.
