cancellation policy

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

Come discover this historic monument in Paris, an architectural gem from the Gothic period, at your own pace and whenever you choose.

Commissioned by King Saint-Louis and built-in 1241, come relive the history of Sainte Chapelle, guided by a series of information panels.

You will learn how the Sainte Chapelle was originally built to house relics of the Passion of the Christ acquired by the monarch during the 13th century. These include a piece of the True Cross and the Holy Crown, which nearly disappeared in the early 19th century! Starting in 1790, Sainte Chapelle was restricted to members of the clergy and was emptied of its contents. It progressively became archive storage for the neighboring Palais de Justice also known as Paris’s Court House, until a restoration campaign was started under pressure from the public.

Today, it is no longer possible to admire the relics for which Sainte Chapelle was built, as they were either lost or displaced during the French Revolution. You can, however, admire the chapel’s breathtakingly beautiful stained-glass windows. With 15 windows of 50 sq. ft. each, you can view the history of the world up until the arrival of the relics in Paris. In total, 1,113 scenes are depicted on the stained glass. Information is provided so that you won’t miss a single detail of these colored glass artworks.

You need a timed entrance ticket to St Chapelle, as standing in line without a ticket does not guarantee you entry! This was great!

Getting tickets with Headout was simple and easy. Got easy access to the site, and not a very long wait. Saint Chapelle is definitely worth the time to see, and i recommend getting tickets ahead of time during the busy season as the regular ticket line was quite long.

I love San Chapelle! But... Some no ticket people were let in before timed ticket who were let in late. They were running 30-40 minutes late but the no ticket line moved before the timed ticket line. If they were on time I can understand but they were not!

Although we had an appointment, it took us a long time to get in, but it was definitely worth it. It is impressive, wonderful, fascinating. I would definitely come back!

The windows are beautiful. The religious pictorial squares on each side of the doorway leading out of the chapelle are wonderful to decipher.
