The stained-glass windows of the Sainte-Chapelle

The Sainte-Chapelle may well be the most beautiful Gothic building in Europe: fifteen great windows, fifteen metres high, telling 1,113 biblical scenes in glass, in a light that changes with every hour of the day. A few steps away, the Conciergerie keeps the memory of the French Revolution and of Marie-Antoinette.

Two monuments, one private tour. Your licensed guide tells the story of the Île de la Cité from its medieval origins to the Revolution, in a place most visitors walk through without really seeing it.

The tour

2 hours

From the prison to the light

The Conciergerie and its revolutionary cells, then the climb to the upper chapel of the Sainte-Chapelle and the sudden blaze of the stained glass: a tour that begins in the shadow of the prison and ends in the light of the Middle Ages.

Good to know

Both monuments stand inside the Paris law courts: every visitor goes through a security check at the entrance. Please avoid large bags.
