Sainte-Chapelle
Best time to visit
Go early morning when the first light illuminates the east windows, crowds are smaller and colors look most vivid. Weekdays outside school holidays are calmer than weekends.
Budget tips
Standard adult tickets are modest, with reduced rates for EU residents under 26 and free entry for under-18s; check the official site for exact current prices. Paris Museum Pass covers Sainte-Chapelle and saves money if visiting several monuments.

About
クイックファクト: 陽光がステンドグラスを透過すると、内部はまるで色の洪水に飲み込まれたようになり、約600平方メートルにおよぶ彩色ガラスが聖書の場面を生き生きと描き出す。天井へ視線を移すと、細い石柱が軽やかに伸び、ゴシックの繊細さと光の演出が訪れる人の感覚を揺さぶる。
ハイライト: 上階に並ぶ15枚のステンドグラスは一枚が約15メートルの高さで、合わせて1113の聖書場面が描かれているため、午後の斜光が差し込むと床に青や赤の絵巻が広がり、まるで色の海にいるように感じられる。建設はルイ9世が茨の冠など聖遺物を安置するために行い、革命期には窓の多くが外され修復されたという小話があり、今も礼拝の間に低い声で行われる祈りの残響が特有の静けさを与えている。
Insider tips
- Arrive 30 minutes before opening to photograph the upper chapel in soft morning light and avoid the biggest crowds.
- Allow small bag or backpack rules, expect a security check and choose comfortable shoes; upper chapel is reached by a narrow spiral staircase.
- Use the centre aisle facing the stained glass for the best symmetrical photos, and avoid flash to respect the artwork.
- Combine the visit with the Conciergerie next door to make the most of your Seine-side itinerary, especially on rainy days.
