Visiting Paris for just one day in August, we had to pick our sites carefully. Based on my research, we chose Sainte Chapelle over Notre Dame, where the lines and crowds were crazy. We visited in mid-afternoon and the line was very short. Once inside, it was a little crowded - plenty of standing room but no chairs available. It... more

I call this the Church of Windows because the ceiling is so high and the walls are pure windows. Another great edition of the Paris Museum Pass. This is a must stop if you are exploring the Palais de justice de Paris. more

For a cost of 25Euro had a priceless experience of a Sunday evening concert at this most beautiful chapel in central Paris. Great to get away from the (other) tourists and experience something sublime. Just turned up and got in. These concert eperiences are held every night at the different churches and I should have gone to every one. Beats... more

We were lucky enough to stumble upon a concert about to start at this wonderful church. We heard Vivaldi, Bach and Pachelbel performed by a stellar group of musicians called the Soloistes Francaise. Anyone with an ounce of poetry in their soul will see the beauty and enchantment in this place. Would visit again for another concert in a heartbeat. more

So we see all the great reviews, and hear from people how spectacular of a place this is that we decided to check it out. After waiting in line for about 25 mins we finally made it through security and to the ticket window. After buying what I considered to be a kinda expensive ticket for my wife and I,... more

We visited this church as a reaction to not being able to get into Notre Dame within a reasonable amount of time - Notre Dame was chock a block with one bus after the other. This church is a wonder - the stained glass that everyone talks about is beautiful, like being inside a jewel box. The glass tells bible... more

Amazingly gorgeous chapel, truly like a "jewel box" as it's frequently described. The walls of stained glass is like nothing I'd ever seen before. If you see only once church in Paris, see this one. more

Wait until the sun comes out and find your way to visit this site. Even if you're not interested in the history, the sheer magnificence of the stained glass will be worth the visit. We were fortunate to be there during a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. This was a feast for the senses. more

We stood in line for this 3 times before finally going in. Once, we stood in the line for the ministry office instead of the church. My fault. Second time we got there and waited 10 minutes and they stopped the line at the people in front of us. Bitter Third time we were there in line for a hour.... more

We'd been in Paris for 4 days, seeing beautiful building, after beautiful church, after beautiful statue, after beautiful garden. So when I walked upstairs at Sainte-Chapelle, I was prepared to see one more. What I saw was so beautiful, it almost brought me to tears...and I'm not that type of a person. The sun coming through the stained glass was... more
