La Sainte-Chapelle, Paris

This place is the most amazing location I have ever visited. It's stain glass is so detailed...its incredible. Definently the highlight of my trip...I prefer this magnificant church way more than Notre Dame! Don't miss this jewel in the city!

but not worth the entrance fee. There was construction going on while we were there, and I think that cut back on the experiece quite a bit as it limited the amount of sun shining through the glass. If you have the museum pass, it's probably worth a visit, but the admission fee seemed a bit steep for how small the place was.

Beautiful stainglass and lots of it. Go on a really sunny day for the best view. Use as part of your museum pass and you don't have to pay extra-I don't think it would have been worth it if I would of had to pay extra to see it. It is beautiful though and I'm glad I went.

Sainte Chappelle had a long line, even with a museum pass, and I guess I was just expecting more. It is pretty, but those claiming it is better than Notre Dame are crazy. I would go, but it is just OK has Europe's great churches go.

Forget the Notre Dame. Sainte Chapelle is the real church worth visiting while in Paris. Unfortunately everyone always goes on about the former while not many has heard of Sainte Chapelle. This is where the kings used to worship. The stained glass windows are absolutely spectacular - so much better than the Rose Window at Notre Dame. In fact they are the most awesome stained glass windows in the world. Certainly one of the places you must visit in Paris.

Built to house the Crown of Thorns [the actual thorns Christ wore on his head during the Passion], this Church is one of the hidden treasures of the world. This is my most favorite church in the world - more so than the Sistine Chapel.

I visited the Chapelle by accident sincE I had been taken down that road by my son who had wanted to visit the pet shops. walked in to the Chapelle and I felt that I had been transported into a dream world. The very opulently decorated ground floor was special but the wonder and awe that I felt we went upstairs was indescribable. It was like being inside a bubble of the most exquisitely coloured glass. There was colour everywhere but not bright or garish -- but exquisite. A visit to La sainte Chapelle is an absolute must. It is tiny but so very graceful and beautiful. a jewel amongst jewels.

We thought Ste. Chapelle was the absolute highlight of our Paris trip. Without doubt, the most beautiful cathedral we have seen in France! A little tricky to locate, but well worth the effort.

When entering La Sainte Chapelle we found ourselves quite disappointed - we had been told that this was one of the most beautiful churches in Paris - and frankly it didn't appear so... But to our amazement the 1st floor chapel was astonishingly beautiful - and worth the entrance fee. We are definitely coming back to admire this beautiful church. Go there - you won't regret it.

I've been to the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and many other places in Paris, but the place I always remember and return to on every visit is Ste Chapelle. When you enter the lower chapel you may think the church dull, as there is little glory other than the ceiling vault painted with stars. However, once you ascend to the upper chapel, you will enter perhaps the most beautiful church you have ever seen. This is Gothic architecture at its best. It seems that there is nothing but glass holding up the roof. You are surrounded by red and blue light streaming in from every direction. "Read" the windows from your lower left to your upper right . They will take you from Creation to Apocalypse. Make sure to go out on the balcony. Ste Chapelle was created by the King of France Louise IX (Saint Louis, or if you are from my corner of America, San Luis Rey). Public concerts often occur in the Upper Chapel.
