So first of all, I'd like to thank headout for this ticket. To visit the holy chapel, it was sold out everywhere but this site managed to find me two tickets. So happy to have gone with my family to visit this sublime place. I would never have thought of booking. Thanks again! You saved my scheduled trip.

The actual venue was awesome. However, the queuing experience wasn't ideal. There was confusion as to which queue (both ticket holders and non-ticket holders appeared mingled together..There were limited / no personnel at the queues to organise people. Once the queues separated things moved more smoothly.

Even though we had booked a specific time we waited in a hugely over crowded line of visitors to enter for over an hour. The tour of the Chapel actually only took 15 mins. We had already visited the conciergerie the day before but could not view the Chapelle on the same day.

It was a great way to see and learn about Ile del la cite. Caroline, our guide was knowledgeable and fun. My only fault was upon arrival Carole said this tour did not include entry tickets to the Conciergerie. So we were unable to enter even though the name of tour says it is included. Carole was confused about this as well. Other wise, very good.

The tour was great and competent, informative and entertaining. We were told the wrong time the day before. 3:00 pm instead of 4:00 pm. It was also not taken into account that Notre Dane closes earlier in the evening. We could no longer get in. This should have been known in advance and we should have been informed. Then I would have booked a separate time slot. The group was very annoyed about this.

Guide explained things well but she walked so fast she kept losing half her people. She had another engagement so left us alone at Chappelle. So the tour was cut by 1/2 an hour. So she was explanatory but too fast walking and left us at Chapelle after we got inside. No trouble getting in front of line.

We absolutely loved our guide he was knowledgeable on the topics he shared with us during the tour and the one of the reasons I starred awesome, but it was not the tour I signed up for which was access to Notre Dame with a guided tour plus optional locations. What we received was the optional locations which were very interesting and we truly enjoyed, but then the tour ended with us standing at the Notre Dame plaza with no history of the cathedral provided. Your advertising of this particular tour is misleading as shown by your email which states the name of the tour as "Notre-Dame Cathedral & Optional Île de la Cité Guided Tour". You should change the name of this tour.

Quite impressive, but of course I thought I could go up there too. That was probably no longer possible after 16:30 and I probably wouldn't have been able to go up otherwise because they had limited the number of visitors inside. That wasn't clear to me before I bought the ticket.

Architectural highlights of Sainte-Chapelle
Style: Gothic
Architect: Pierre de Montreuil (as mentioned in some texts)
Built: 1248
Sainte-Chapelle, commissioned by King Louis IX in the 13th century, is a prime example of the Rayonnant Gothic style, characterized by its focus on height, elegance, and an intricate interplay of light.
The entrance, located on the western side, features elaborate sculptural decorations, including the lily flower, symbolizing the Virgin Mary, and icons of the Crown of Thorns, reflecting the chapel’s original function as a reliquary for sacred relics
The 108-foot spire — the fifth to rise above the chapel since its construction — was crafted by a Parisian carpenter named Bellu in the 19th century. Using cedar wood, he seamlessly blended Gothic design with delicate proportions creating intricate carvings.
Inside, the emphasis on height and light is key to the Gothic style’s symbolic intention: to draw the eyes upward, lifting the visitor’s thoughts toward the heavens. The combination of soaring ceilings, pointed arches, and vast stained glass windows work together to create a sense of ethereal beauty and divine presence.
A Gothic masterpieceOverview of the chapels
Lower Chapel
Originally built for the palace staff, this chapel features elegant ribbed vaults, painted columns, and a statue of Saint Louis. It serves as the structure's foundation and showcases intricate gold and blue medieval decorations.
Upper Chapel
The highlight of Sainte-Chapelle, this chapel was reserved for the royal family and houses 15 towering stained glass windows depicting over 1,000 biblical scenes. Bathed in vibrant light, it is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Gothic architecture.
Celebrating the women at Sainte-Chapelle
Sainte-Chapelle, known for its breathtaking stained glass windows, prominently features strong female figures from both biblical and historical narratives. These women, depicted in the chapel’s artwork, symbolize faith, wisdom, and heroism.
Blanche of Castile
As the mother and regent of Louis IX, she played a key role in shaping his reign and religious devotion. Her influence ensured the construction of Sainte-Chapelle, commissioned by Louis IX to house the Holy Relics, including Christ’s Crown of Thorns.
Esther
A Jewish queen of Persia, Esther is celebrated for her bravery and wisdom, as she risked her life to save her people from persecution. Her story, depicted in Sainte-Chapelle’s stained glass, reflects themes of courage and divine intervention.
Judith
A warrior heroine of the Old Testament, Judith beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes, delivering her people from oppression. Her presence in the stained glass serves as a symbol of strength, determination, and God's justice.
The Virgin Mary
Central to Christian iconography, Mary is frequently represented in Sainte-Chapelle’s windows, emphasizing her role as the Mother of Christ and intercessor for humanity. She symbolizes purity, compassion, and divine grace, reinforcing the chapel’s religious significance.

What happens if I miss my entry time for Sainte-Chapelle?
Sainte-Chapelle tickets are time-specific, so if you miss your entry slot, there’s a chance you won’t be allowed in. It's best to arrive 15-30 minutes early to pass through security. If you're late, you'll need to buy a new ticket.
How far in advance should I book Sainte-Chapelle tickets?
To ensure you get your preferred time slot, it’s advisable to book your tickets at least a week in advance, especially if you’re visiting during peak tourist season (April to September). For off-peak times, 2-3 days in advance is usually sufficient.
What are the benefits of a guided tour of Sainte-Chapelle?
A guided tour not only provides skip-the-line access but also enriches your experience with fascinating stories and details about the chapel’s Gothic architecture, stained glass windows, and royal history. It's perfect for those wanting a deeper understanding of the site.
Is it worth visiting Sainte-Chapelle with a combo ticket?
Definitely! Sainte-Chapelle is a quick visit, and the combo ticket includes access to the Conciergerie, adding historical depth to your trip. This ticket allows you to explore both significant landmarks in one go, giving you more value for your money.
Can I enter Sainte-Chapelle multiple times with the same ticket?
No, the ticket allows for a single entry at your designated time. Once you leave, you cannot re-enter without purchasing a new ticket.
How long does it take to visit Sainte-Chapelle?
While the chapel itself is a relatively quick visit (around 30-45 minutes), those who are captivated by the stunning stained glass windows or are taking a guided tour might spend an hour or more. Allocate additional time if you plan to visit the Conciergerie.
Do special events/mass take place at the chapel?
While there are no regular mass services held at Sainte-Chapelle, it often hosts classical music concerts, which are a unique way to experience the chapel’s ethereal beauty. Check the schedule in advance and consider booking a concert ticket to enhance your visit.

So first of all, I'd like to thank headout for this ticket. To visit the holy chapel, it was sold out everywhere but this site managed to find me two tickets. So happy to have gone with my family to visit this sublime place. I would never have thought of booking. Thanks again! You saved my scheduled trip.

Sainte-Chapelle and Conciergerie Tickets

We did not have to wait in line, as we had the ticket bought in advance, besides the whole process was easy; (payment, receiving the mails with the information...) if we had not booked in time, there was no place for that day at that time, we would not have been able to enter, it is a beautiful monument worth visiting, our experience has been very good, 100% recommendable.

Buying the ticket and downloading it into the app worked perfectly. The information about the Olympic Games was also very helpful.

I really enjoyed Tina's tour! It was especially great and informative since is an art historian as well as understanding the French political history. It was so comprehensive. It was particularly helpful to understand more of the arrangements and meanings in the Sacre Couer windows. All around great cultural tour! Don’t miss it!
Île de la Cité and Latin Quarter Guided Tour with Seine River Cruise

We absolutely loved our guide he was knowledgeable on the topics he shared with us during the tour and the one of the reasons I starred awesome, but it was not the tour I signed up for which was access to Notre Dame with a guided tour plus optional locations. What we received was the optional locations which were very interesting and we truly enjoyed, but then the tour ended with us standing at the Notre Dame plaza with no history of the cathedral provided.
Your advertising of this particular tour is misleading as shown by your email which states the name of the tour as "Notre-Dame Cathedral & Optional Île de la Cité Guided Tour". You should change the name of this tour.

The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
