Very beautiful but very noisy, silence should be required according to everything in a small building and even a bedroom.
Overall a nice visit even if there was a very large crowd and noise
There are two spaces to see, the most beautiful of course being the one at the top which has wonderful stained glass windows and is truly exceptional.
Fairly quick visit, I advise you to buy your tickets online as you will save a little time.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the St. Chappelle. The stunning collection of artifacts and exhibits provided a captivating journey through history. The only drawback was the extended wait to enter, but once inside, the experience was well worth it. The museum's rich content and engaging displays make it a must-visit for anyone interested in art and culture.

Small but exquisite chapel with the most amazing stained glass windows. Make sure to book at time slot in advance, avoid the weekend, go early in the day, the chapel is small so 30 minutes is all you need once you are in. It’s just one block from notre dame, easy to find with google maps but few signs. A great brief experiment as part of a walking tour of Paris. Great gift shop.

Was in France with one of my French friends who mentioned this place and so glad he did. It was a very cool find to drop by and see. It’s not super big, doesn’t take a long time to see but I would say it’s def worth it if you have more time in Paris or you’ve seen all the other big attractions.

This church, now an UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built by a French king to house the crown of thorns and pieces of the true cross - they spared no expense. The accessible portions of this site consist of a lower worship area and an upper area. For both of these I recommend the audio guide at least - there is symbolism everywhere and meaning in everything. You will miss it otherwise. The two areas are connected by a windy staircase that was made in the middle ages. When you enter the upper area it’s just an explosion of color that has to be experienced. Today we can but marvel at the craftsmanship of this world treasure. Truly amazing.

The chapel is beautiful, but I bought a time slot ticket, expecting to go in at that time. However, they oversold the 12:00 slot by hundreds of tickets and let all of those people go first. We had to wait 1.5 hours or more just to get in. I wasn’t a fan of that. However the chapel is beautiful and even though I have been before, my mom has not, and I wanted her to see it.

Arrived 30 minutes early for the 9:00am booking. Saw long line up for those without advanced booking. Once inside need to be patient to get the best photo spot as everyone wants to take their pictures.

The upper chapel is stunning with the stained glass and hanging lights. But don't miss looking at the main floor level as well, it is also beautiful. This site should be on your must see list for Paris.
