Climbing the narrow spiral staircase from below just adds to the experience.

Even the gift shop is amazing.

On our 2nd visit we let our nephew go first and I remember hearing him say "Wow." when he turned the corner.

I visited Sainte Chappelle many years ago on a bright and sunny day in December. There were only a few people there and it was so quiet and heavenly. I believe it does or at one time did house what is believed to be the Crown of Thorns. It was so much more spiritually uplifting than Notre Dame which was going through renovations in the 80's. Thanks for posting these photos. 🙂

I hope they brought back wonderful memories. It was overcast in November when these were taken.

And quite busy. Probably due to Notre Dame being closed.

TY for sharing these astounding photos!

this is one of the first places we go to visit.

Thank you for posting. They are beautiful.

when I go to Paris too.

But nothing beats the first time you enter that room.

Humans are capable of creating exquisite beauty.

You have captured and presented it here so nicely. Thanks!
