Years ago we attended the chamber concert in the late day and were able to observe the chapel as the sun set and the colors of the glass changed. You were allowed entrance 30 minutes before the concert to walk around and take your time taking in the beauty of the glass jewel. As I remember the number of attendees was low and it was a most special experience. I’m hoping these concerts are still available- my daughter went there for the concert in 2013 and it was her favorite of all of Paris!
The thing that struck me most about Sainte-Chappelle was the floor. I stood there, simply entranced, thinking about all those who had walked on that floor before me, looking at the uneven wear in the stone and marveling at how the colors had lasted through time.
What a treat. The picture of the empty chapel and floor is amazing. I’ve done a Walk Tours tour before. I’ll have to check out this one to Sainte-Chappelle
This is my favorite church/chapel of any I have visited in the world. It delivers an experience beyond the physical. Thank you for sharing your unique visit and photos.

Oh, yeah. The glass ain't bad, either.

How can man create such beauty and peacefulness, and still perpetuate war? Thanks for the respite from all of the pain in the world theses days
