История в витражах History in stained glass

Rating 8110

Since the chapelle is located on the island of Cité , it is not worth talking about its availability. I, like many, bought a ticket immediately to visit the Conciergerie and Sainte-Chapelle. It is convenient and more profitable. I did not stand in line at all, I was in the afternoon. There were people, but not many. It is small, consists of 2 floors. At the first one, I was surprised by the similarity of decoration and murals with Russian churches, as if I were in the time of Ivan the Terrible, but not very well maintained, plaster fell off in some places, which upsets me. On the second one you find yourself in a completely different world with huge vaults and many stained-glass windows. The day was clear and sunny, so on the 2nd floor it was like in a light box, but on the 1st it was a bit dark. I regretted that I didn’t take the audio guide, since you yourself won’t pay all the attention, you will miss something interesting. I highly recommend it, as you don't see something like this every day.
