Exclusive private tour: La Sainte-Chapelle

What can we expect?

The Sainte-Chapelle, an absolute jewel of Gothic art, was built in just seven years. It was commissioned by Louis IX to house the holy relics he had just acquired, the Holy Crown of Thorns and a piece of the True Cross.

A contemporary of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the Sainte-Chapelle is a sumptuous and monumental reliquary, a jewel box of light. Its 1113 stained glass windows are among the most spectacular of the Gothic era.

As well as giving you the keys to understanding this Gothic masterpiece, your tour guide will offer you a personalised tour, tailored to your needs and desires.

A private, tailor-made tour so you don't miss a thing!
