Pros: beautiful, historic Cons: Stained glass needs to be cleaned..
Sunlight streaming through the stained glass of the Gothic cathedrals of Chartes, Rouen, Notre Dame, Reims, and, Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, evoke a Kaleidoscopic image or memory in many cases, except, why is it , when I think of...
Pros: It's absolutely stunning Cons: Lines can be long, stairs are steep and narrow
I am a Congenital Night Owl (CNO). I love the wee hours of the morning when everything is quiet and I can hear the great horned owls calling out in cross-species camaraderie from across the greenway. I can write or read or play computer Boggle all ...
Pros: Beautiful if you enjoy the art of stained glass, maybe even if you don't Cons: I'll let you know if I think of one
Sainte Chapelle is located on Ile-de-la-Cite in the middle of the Seine, just a couple of blocks from Notre Dame Cathedral. Visitors are required to go through a metal detector before they get near the chapel since they are also entering the Palais de...
Pros: it is breathtaking Cons: the stairs are very steep
Lest you think that the only thing I did in Paris was shop and eat – I did make plenty of time to see some of the national monuments. My favorite has always been La Sainte-Chapelle.
I fell in love with this church when I first went to Paris...
Go when the sun is shining brightly and you will agree...It is a jewel box. It is a beautiful light show with the natural sunlight shining through any of the fifteen stained glass windows! The rose window is best seen at sunset.
Pros: So Beautiful! Cons: Having to pay to go into a church
I'm sorry, but "American in Paris" must have a rock for a soul. This is my second favorite place in Paris (after the Musee Rodin), and I can't imagine how anyone could be too "jaded" to not enjoy it.
Pros: The stained glass Cons: The wait if you don't get there early
St. Chapelle is at first a very unassuming chapel squished between two other buildings. I had heard it was not-to-be-missed so I made some time to see it. Make sure you check the worship schedule before waiting in line. I arrived 15 minutes before it...
When I was 17, I was going to France as an exchange student, and my French teacher back here in the states suggested that I go and visit this little chapel in the heart of Paris while I was there. I had no idea what I was stepping in to, and I found it...
Undoubtedly, my favorite place to visit in Paris. Beautiful architecture and stained glass. Take the metro to the cite stop and follow the signs to sainte chapelle. If you have time, a...
I heard that when the poet Racine stepped inside Sainte-Chape1le, he said he felt like he had died and gone to heaven. He was right. If you only have one day in Paris, go here. It is worth the long lines, which move in blocks inside the chapel. If...
Pros: Magical on a sunny day Cons: Can get Crowded
Sainte Chapelle is a magical place. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, hidden as it is behind the Palais de Justice and entered through a narrow, dreary courtyard. When you first enter the lower chapel, you are a still a bit disappointed...
Pros: beautiful stained glass Cons: been discovered by tour groups
Sainte Chapelle is right in the middle of things - very near Notre Dame - and yet it's hidden. To get to this church you'll have to go through gates that hide it from view from the street. But, the trip is worth it.
Pros: it's a beautifully symbolic, historic site! Cons: none
You see, the ornamentation of Castles and Fleur de lys are tied into the history of this magnificently significant historic gem! Louis IX was born to parents of French royalty and Spanish royalty-- therefore his Ste. Chapelle was designed to reflect...
Pros: None I can think of Cons: The wait to get in.
I live in Paris, so perhaps I am jaded. I had always wanted to visit Sainte Chapelle. This chapel always has long lines circling the block. Finally we invested in the time to wait only to find it was one of the biggest disappointments in our...
Pros: Very beautiful Cons: A short wait usually required
Avoiding the long lines in front of Notre Dame, I headed over to Sainte-Chapelle in order to kill time. Little did I know that I would find one of my now favorite places in all of Paris. When you first walk in, you think "is this it?". Then...
