Sainte Chapelle

This stunning medieval chapel was originally part of the <em>Palais de la Cité</em>, the first royal palace in Paris. The chapel’s exterior is a perfect example of French Gothic architecture. Inside the chapel, intricate stained glass panels relate biblical stories. For a truly magical experience, attend a chamber music concert at <em>Sainte Chapelle</em>. Listen to a small group of musicians play the works of Bach or Vivaldi as your eyes wander to the chapel’s high, arched ceilings and patterned walls. The combination of visual and auditory stimuli creates an experience that will thrill the senses.
