Sainte Chapelle

After Notre Dame we walked a couple of blocks over to the Sainte Chapelle. I'm embarrassed to admit I had not heard of this chapel before going to Paris. But once in Paris everyone said it was a must see. And man oh man were they right.


The Sainte Chapelle was built in the 1200's as the personal chapel for the king. Although it is significantly smaller than Notre Dame, in someways it is even more beautiful. The main chapel features beautiful stain glass windows on every side. 360 degrees of luminescent majesty.


Absolutely a must see in Paris. One of the most amazing structures I've ever seen.
