Sainte-Chapelle is currently being restored to it's full potential. However even in it's current state it is nothing short of breath taking. I absolutely loved it and I'm so glad we took the time to check it out.

This place is worth the visit just to see the stained glass. It was under restoration when I was there, but it didn't take away from the experience at all. Some of the stained glass is on display at the Cluny.
Sainte Chappelle is so beautiful and a hidden gem. I have been to Sainte Chappelle several times and marvel each time at the intricacy of the stained glass and the history in each of the pieces as they tell the history of the Bible. Just awesome. The church is under renovation and each piece is being painstakingly taken out, cleaned...

But glad we saw it with the Paris Museum Pass. Be sure to get in the right line if you have the pass. Saves a lot of waiting in line. They are restoring some of the cathedral at the present. Be aware you have to climb stairs to get the full effect of the chapel. There is a second floor...

This is a run down cathedral and all it has going for it is the stained glass windows...we expected more after waiting on line for 30 mins to get in..museum pass not valid to cut the line...have to wait in line like everyone else but you dont have to pay if you have the pass...
Commissioned by Louis IX, later to become St. Louis, this "little" chapel continues to have a sense of reverence and prayer when you step inside. Make sure you go to the upper chapel-the stained glass is amazing!
so paid a visit. even included in museum pass, but you can not bypass the line, we had to line up for nearly 40 min. stained glass windows are great in this sunly day. god blessed. it is only about 5 min from notre dame, so give yourself 1.5 hours more to include in this lovely chapel.
There really is not too much to see, other than the restoration, which is very intersting. There are only 2 rooms that we could go into. One downstairs that was like a gift shop. Do not bother spending the euros for headphones because when you go upstairs, up a narrow spiral staircase, there are reading materials in many languages which...

I have always loved the Notre Dame de Paris cathedral. This was my first to Sainte-Chapelle and it has spoiled Notre Dame for me forever. Sainte-Chapelle is a small chapel. Though it is very close to Notre Dame and they are both Gothic architecture, they are quite different. Sainte-Chapelle is a small jewel in comparison to the hulking Notre Dame....
