Sainte-Chapelle
Commonly referred to as the "royal chapel of the Île de la Cité," Sainte-Chapelle is a remarkable Gothic structure recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside, visitors can admire a breathtaking array of polychrome stained glass windows, esteemed as the finest in Paris. Even under overcast skies, light streams through these beautiful panes, earning it the nickname "the little glass box" of the city.
This chapel also features an exceptional collection of sacred art detailing the relics of the Passion and various biblical narratives, including the life of Saint John the Baptist and the Book of Genesis.
